On May 5, 2015, 39-year-old Laura Hollenshead of Needmore, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot at her family home on Great Cove Road in Belfast Township, Fulton County. Laura and her 19-year-old stepdaughter, Jaedi Rae Weed, both died of gunshot wounds. Anthony L.

Hollenshead, then 36, turned himself in that night and said he acted in self-defense after being attacked with a wrench and a stick.
