Susan Mary Yuhas, 23, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was killed on September 25, 1982, during a mass shooting carried out that morning by George Banks. The attack began at Heather Highlands Mobile Home Park in Jenkins Township, where Banks killed four people, including his estranged girlfriend Sharon Mazzillo and their son, then continued after he drove to his home in Wilkes-Barre. Susan Mary Yuhas and her two young children, Bowendy Banks, 4, and Maritanya Banks, 1, were among the 13 people killed that day.

Banks was arrested after a three-hour standoff with police and was later charged with first-degree murder. Reports said he had been threatening to kill one of his girlfriends for months and was involved in a custody dispute; the motive was not immediately clear. The killings had a devastating effect on the community and the victims families.

If anyone knew Susan Mary Yuhas or her children, or has information about that day, please share what you remember.
