Harrison Shaffer, 68, of Bunola, Pennsylvania, was killed on May 20, 2015. A longtime Metal Management employee who had retired after 36 years and an active member of Bunola Nazarene Church, Shaffer was described as kind and helpful and spent much of his retirement with family and friends.

Shaffer called 911 to report the break-in. Richter shot multiple times, striking Shaffer in the stomach and head. When officers arrived, Richter exchanged gunfire with police and later held out in the house until a SWAT team used tear gas to force him out and take him into custody.

Richter was charged with criminal homicide, burglary, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and criminal mischief; he was later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Shaffer’s family and community remembered him fondly after the killing.
