Pregnant Mom Was Just 4 Days From Giving Birth When She Was Killed Alongside Her Two Young Children

Angelina Stone was just days away from welcoming another baby when a devastating shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, took the lives of her and her two young children.

The 24-year-old mother was eight months pregnant and reportedly only four days from her due date when she became one of eight victims killed at a family home on Friday, October 9, 2026. The suspected gunman, a 45-year-old man, also died in the incident, bringing the total death toll to nine.

According to PEOPLE, Stone’s children, Isiah and Amari’anna, were also among those killed. Her unborn son, whom the family had named Kyrie, never had the chance to meet his family.

A family tragedy that has left loved ones devastated

The shooting occurred at a residence in Erie. Police arrived within minutes of receiving an alert, but authorities said all nine deaths had occurred before officers reached the scene.

Investigators believe the suspected shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The motive behind the attack remains under investigation.

The victims included several members of the same family and a family friend. Their deaths have left relatives and the wider community struggling to understand how such a tragedy could happen.

A family friend, Lisa Simmers, spoke to local media about Stone and her children, describing them as a beautiful family. She also expressed the heartbreak of knowing that people outside the home were unable to prevent what was happening inside.

Loved ones are asking for help

A fundraiser was established to help cover funeral expenses for Angelina, her two children, and her unborn baby, Kyrie.

The family said the financial burden of arranging multiple funerals was more than they could manage alone. Donations are intended to help with funeral costs and final arrangements.

As investigators continue examining the circumstances surrounding the shooting, Stone’s story has drawn attention to the lives lost behind the headlines.

She was preparing to welcome a new child and raise her young family. Instead, loved ones are now facing the unimaginable task of mourning a mother, two children, and a baby who never had the chance to be born.
