The report comes from ABC Australia Sport, which describes the response by law enforcement following an automatic report of gunshots. The death toll indicated by the outlet is eight people.
According to the Australian outlet, a pregnant woman was among those killed. The report does not provide the victims’ identities in the article.
The response was reportedly triggered by an alert received through ShotSpotter, with officers arriving at the home within minutes, ABC Australia Sport reports.
The system is described by the same source as a tool for detecting gunshots through artificial intelligence and a network of microphones.
ABC Australia Sport describes ShotSpotter as controversial and presents it as the element that enabled police to be alerted quickly, according to the published account.
The available account only identifies Pennsylvania and the discovery of the scene at the home after the alert: the material provided does not identify the precise location, any suspects or the motive.
