On December 10, 2022, at about 3 a.m., the Bedford 911 service received an urgent call. According to the Pennsylvania State Police at the Bedford station, Bedford 911 received a call reporting a home invasion and an assault in progress. The call was disconnected.

When the State Police arrived, they determined one shot had been fired, and the intruder, Dakota Lance Hall, was struck and died at the scene. WTAJ reported this. From wtaj.com:
State Police out of Bedford said they received a call of a home invasion and assault along Shoups Branch Road in Liberty Township shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday. While on the phone with the 72-year-old male homeowner, they said the 911 call disconnected. When the call reconnected, there were reports of shots fired.
When police arrived, they found the alleged intruder, Dakota Hall, 22, of Huntingdon, with a gunshot wound. Police said Hall died of his injuries at the scene.
The 72-year-old was taken to UPMC Bedford for injuries suffered in the assault.
Bedford is a rural community in Pennsylvania. The population of Liberty Township is modest at 1,382 as of the 2020 census. Shoup’s Branch Road is a short street in a development of what appears to be about 15 mobile homes in the satellite image. An athletic field is across the street. On the other side of the athletic fields for baseball and football is a middle school and a high school.
The identity of the 72-year-old white male is unknown. Dakota Hall’s address is reported as in Huntingdon, PA. The homeowner is reported as being from Saxon, PA, which is in Liberty Township. Huntingdon is about a half-hour drive northeast of Liberty Township. In Hall’s obituary,

A local obit. Is that the perp?
Hall had a previous arrest for a domestic, and the location of his death is just a few blocks from his parent's place.
I hope they’ve got good investigators just in case this isn’t what it seems.
Nothing in the obituary regarding the reason for his ealy demise.
Nice shot, grandpa!
Awesome, another POS removed from society.

We need some sort of award for people who administer a taxpayer relief shot. Medal, ribbon, case of ammo.....
He was born on Oct. 10, 1996, in Roaring Spring, Pa., a son of Jai L. Hall married to Christi Gordon of Saxton and April M. (Carroll) Eltman, married to Bruce of Saxton.
“I hope they’ve got good investigators just in case this isn’t what it seems.”
3am drug buy went sideways? 72 y.o. slumlord/dealer/pimp not taking S?
Don’t know. Just hope there’s a thorough investigation.
The loss of life should require that.
No matter who the victim is.
He was employed by his grandfather at Joe C. Hall Concrete as an equipment operator. (from obit article)
gainfully employed, but apparently that was not enough
Ping.
What racists progressives are. His skin color isNOT important nor relevant to this story.
I grew up in western PA. Bedford County is a nice area, but unfortunately, like much of northern Appalachia, meth and other drugs have spread into even the more bucolic and rural parts. Not that that’s what happened here, just trying to paint a picture of the area for those not familiar with it.
Actually, that’s a really good idea. Award the shooter an amount equal to what it typically would cost taxpayers for taking a case to trial, and then feeding / housing the perp for his years in prison.
China manufactures the drugs.
Cartels bring them into the U.S. freely by paying off our politicians.
Addicted people = slow destruction of America. Crime, homelessness, destroyed families, destroyed lives.
Find drugs (opioids) that target those with white European ancestry and it’s a super win for globohomo to depopulate America of potential conservative voters. Bring in the third worlders to replace them.
Yes, the guy broke the law and likely searching for drug money. But was all part of the plan.
My guess is that he was only “gainfully employed” because he worked for a family member who felt obligated to him. He was probably unemployable to anyone else.
