The cause of death was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds by Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees. The manner of death was ruled a homicide.

Neugebauer said that 57-year-old Douglas Yonker, who resided at the K Street residence, was taken to the hospital for injuries to his head and face area before being taken into custody.
