Gabriela Gabby Morgan, 19, of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, was killed on November 8, 2024, when her ex-boyfriend, 21-year-old Ricky Shannon, forced his way into the Sassafras Terrace Apartments where she was staying with her family and opened fire. Shannon fatally shot Gabby’s mother, 41-year-old Kimberly Day, and wounded Gabby’s stepfather, Brian Miller, and sister, Jennifer Day. Both Gabby and Shannon had filed Protection From Abuse orders against each other; Gabby’s filing said she feared for her life and accused Shannon of threats and hacking her accounts.

After the shooting Shannon forced Gabby into his pickup and led police on a multijurisdictional high-speed chase that ended in Reed Township when troopers used a vehicle-stopping maneuver. Shannon fired at troopers and they returned fire; officers later found Shannon and Gabby dead in the vehicle, and Gabby had sustained multiple gunshot wounds before the chase. A GoFundMe has been created to help the surviving family with funeral and recovery expenses.

Was anyone in the Mount Joy area aware of tensions between Gabby and Shannon before November 8?
