I'm horrified that these shootings are so commonplace that they're not even news anymore.

So "Penn State Beaver" is the nickname for that school.
And yes, this would be confusing to anybody who doesn't come from Western PA.

One now a senior at Penn St University Park, the other a recent grad in Computer Science looking for a job. Many kids spend 2 years at a branch campus then two years at main campus. I always was more concerned about main campus since there are so many students there and Penn St Beaver is so small.

(15,286 posts)Police are saying it's a murder-suicide, say the wife worked at PS-Beaver cafeteria and was lured outside by the husband who killed her, then killed himself.
Penn State has many branch campuses. This one is located in Beaver County (Center Township) and thus "Penn State Beaver".
