Intended Victim Hides In Closet During Murder/Suicide

"WILKES-BARRE, PA — Authorities say a man angered by a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend burst into her northeastern Pennsylvania apartment and killed her next-door neighbor while his intended target hid in a closet with the couple's daughter and another child.

"Officials said 39-year-old James Cooper of Scranton killed 25-year-old Shana Bagley on her 25th birthday before turning the gun on himself Friday afternoon at the Hanover Village apartment complex in Hanover Township, just outside Wilkes-Barre. Authorities say her husband and a neighbor were also shot and were hospitalized in fair condition.

"Luzerne County District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll says Cooper intended to kill Shaundra Langille. The shooting came a day after a judge awarded her temporary custody of their daughter and barred the couple from personal contact with each other."
