Pennsylvania State Police say the shooting is being investigated as a murder – suicide.

Troopers say an employee at Penn State Beaver was shot near her car.

Troopers say her estranged husband shot and killed her then shot and killed himself near her car.

My initial thought was, "That was one angry beaver..." Sorry, I think I got up too early today.

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

There's a satellite campus of Penn State University located in Beaver County.
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.

the headline. Now tbat I understand that "Beaver" is part of the name, not a mascot, it makes sense.

Very quiet and quaint campus but if murder suicide that could happen anywhere I guess. My kids spent two years there. 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.

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".
