A man alleged to be Jarrod Noll appears in convenience store surveillance footage (Pennsylvania State Police).
Pennsylvania law enforcement is actively searching for a teenager accused of fatally shooting his mother and critically injuring his father in a shocking incident earlier this week.
Authorities have identified 18-year-old Jarrod Noll as the suspect in both the homicide and attempted homicide, Pennsylvania State Police confirmed.
The tragic event unfolded on December 26 at a home located on Garrison Ridge Road in Freeport Township, a small community nestled along Pennsylvania’s border with West Virginia.
Shortly before 2 p.m., state troopers were dispatched to the family residence following reports of a shooting that left two individuals injured, according to a press release from the state police. Upon arrival, officers discovered a man and a woman, each suffering from a single gunshot wound.
Both victims were promptly transported to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, for medical care. Sadly, the woman succumbed to her injuries, authorities reported, while the man remains in stable condition.
The woman ultimately succumbed to her injuries, according to law enforcement. The man is currently in stable condition.
Investigators quickly determined the victims were husband and wife and later identified the couple’s own son as the suspect.
Following the fatal shooting, Noll fled the scene on foot before law enforcement arrived, according to the press release.
An “extensive” search of the area surrounding the family’s residence was unable to turn up the wanted teen, police said.
Investigators later expanded their search parameters and asked for the public’s help in apprehending the alleged parricidal killer.
The press release describes the suspect as follows:
…a white male with brown hair, thick eyebrows, and a mustache, approximately six feet tall with a normal build. He was last seen wearing a camouflage hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and brown boots. The suspect may be armed and dangerous.
“Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the suspect is urged to contact Pennsylvania State Police immediately or call 911,” the press release goes on. “The public is advised not to approach the suspect if seen.”
State police included two photographs from a gas station surveillance camera that purport to show Noll.
Details about the incident are scarce as of this writing.
Law enforcement did not release a motive or details about what they believe precipitated the fatal bout of domestic violence.
The investigation is said to be ongoing.
