Nancy Folcomer was 55 when she was killed on June 24, 2017, while a passenger in her husband’s car on Myers School Road in North Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania. At about 3:45 p.m. she was struck in the shoulder by a stray 9 mm bullet fired on nearby private property and died shortly after despite medical attention.

State police treated the incident as a homicide and investigators described the shooting as the result of reckless disregard for firearm safety by two men, ages 21 and 42, who were firing a pistol on the property. Ballistics testing and scene reconstructions were performed to determine the distance the shot traveled; the bullet was sent to a crime lab and both men cooperated with investigators. The York County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide, and the matter was referred to the York County District Attorney’s Office to consider involuntary manslaughter charges.

Nancy’s family and community were deeply affected by her death. If anyone witnessed the events on Myers School Road that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
