Pennsylvania youth coach Bill Wolfe killed in Las Vegas shooting
A Pennsylvania Little League and youth wrestling coach was confirmed to be among the 59 killed in Sunday night's Las Vegas mass shooting, the Shippensburg (Pa.) Police Department announced Tuesday on Facebook.
The department's post read: "It is with the most of broken hearts, the families of Bill Wolfe Jr. and his wife Robyn share that Bill has been confirmed to be among the deceased as a result of the mass attack in Las Vegas. Please continue to hold our entire family as well as those affected across the nation in your unending prayers."
Family members of Bill and Robyn Wolfe flew out to Las Vegas on Monday night to determine if Bill Wolfe was dead or among the more than 500 injured near the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino, according to PennLive.
Wolfe was initially reported missing after he was separated from his wife at the Vegas-based country music festival when a gunman opened fire from the hotel's 32nd floor.
Before the announcement, the Shippensburg community and surrounding counties held a prayer vigil for Wolfe and his family Monday night at the local sports stadium. They also established a GoFundMe account for the family.
