A young man, aged 18, was apprehended in West Virginia following an alleged shooting incident involving his parents at their Pennsylvania residence, which occurred the day after Christmas. The tragic event resulted in the death of his mother and left his father injured.

Jarrod Noll now faces charges of homicide and attempted homicide related to this disturbing incident.

Authorities from the Pennsylvania State Police responded to a call shortly before 2 p.m. on Friday. The incident took place at a home situated on Garrison Ridge Road in Freeport Township, Greene County, close to the West Virginia state line.

Upon their arrival, officers discovered Noll’s parents suffering from gunshot injuries. Emergency services swiftly transported them to a local hospital, where his mother was reported to be in critical condition.

Tragically, his mother succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, while his father was later discharged after stabilizing.

Authorities launched a manhunt for Noll, who fled the home on foot after the shooting. He was considered armed and dangerous as police conducted an “extensive search” of the surrounding area.

“We used tracking dogs, we used helicopters, and we used police on foot searching rough terrain,” Pennsylvania State Police Sergeant Richard Sizer said, according to CBS Pittsburgh.

“Obviously, when you have someone on the run with a homicide warrant, on the run with a gun, it is a huge danger to the community,” Sizer continued.

Noll was captured on Saturday by West Virginia State Police without incident.

He will be held in custody in West Virginia before his extradition to Pennsylvania, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

The suspect’s younger siblings were home during the shooting, although he allegedly fired the shots outside the house, according to the outlet. The children were placed in the custody of a relative.
