Daniel L. Harris, 30, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was shot multiple times inside the social hall of the Haines-Stackfield American Legion Post 826 on June 11, 2016. About 20 people were in the building when a gunman entered, fired at Harris in what police described as a targeted assassination, and fled the scene unidentified. The shooting took place in the early hours of a Saturday morning.

The Carlisle Police Department, assisted by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office, investigated a case that proved difficult because many potential witnesses were initially uncooperative. In October 2016 authorities arrested Robert Rocky Anderson; prosecutors said the shooting stemmed from a violent, ongoing feud between the Harris and Anderson families. A jury convicted Anderson of first-degree murder in February 2019 and imposed life without parole after rejecting the death penalty.

A judge later ordered a new trial in September 2019 based on concerns about the key witness’s incentives. Does anyone have information about Harris, the night at the American Legion, or witnesses who saw the shooter?
