Diane Brobst, 51, was shot while seated at the bar of the Shenandoah Fish and Game Club at 395 Ferndale Road near Zion Grove, Pennsylvania, shortly before 8 p.m. on November 21, 2017. Her husband, Steven Brobst, then 62, entered the club and shot her in the head. Patrons subdued him after the gun reportedly jammed when he tried to shoot himself; they wrestled him to the ground, disarmed him, and held him until Pennsylvania State Police arrived.

Diane was flown by medical helicopter from a Ringtown landing zone to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville in critical condition. Reports vary on the exact date of death: some memorials list November 21, while news and the coroner indicate she was declared brain dead and died on November 22, 2017. Her obituary said she lived in Weston and worked detailing cars for Smalltown Auto Sales in Hazleton and enjoyed music, karaoke, crafts, and riding ATVs.

Steven Brobst was arrested at the scene; initial charges included attempted homicide and related counts and were later upgraded after Diane’s death to criminal homicide, first-degree murder, third-degree murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person. He was arraigned by video with bail denied and later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in connection with her death.
