Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that all three individuals involved were adult men. Efforts are underway to notify their family members, although extended family members have yet to be informed.

According to Lt. Col. Bivens, the gunshots were described as 'scattered,' indicating that they were not concentrated in a single location within the crowd. This chaotic situation likely added to the confusion and danger faced by those in attendance.

As the investigation into the shooting continues, authorities are working to piece together the events that led to this tragic outcome. The community of Butler, Pennsylvania, and beyond, mourns the loss of life and prays for the swift recovery of those injured in this senseless act of violence.
