A feuding neighbor shot a couple with a handgun before fetching an AR-15-style rifle from his home to kill them, after an apparent argument over the couple shoveling snow into his yard.
Disturbing video has emerged showing the Pennsylvania couple yelling obscenities at the neighbor, before the man grabs a gun and fatally shoots the husband and wife in the middle of the street.
The gunman, Jeffrey Spaide, 47, then took his own life as cops closed in.

I bet this isn’t the first time these neighbors have feuded.
Yeah.. sounds like long time haters of each other.
I saw maybe 2 inches of snow - not even worth shoveling!
These COVID restrictions have gotten people tense and with short fuses. It doesn’t take much to light that fuse,
a rude remark here, a disrespectful tone of voice there, something as minor as using all caps and eight exclamation points in a Tweet , and you may have a fight on your hands over ‘nothing at all’.
You may be in a fight TO THE DEATH over something that would never have gotten on your last nerve this time one year ago.
We really don’t know the whole story.
Sounds horrific to kill people over snow.......but the man that did the shooting might have endured years of those neighbors getting to him, fighting, screwing with his head. This might have been the last straw, regardless of what it is.
That’s the first thing that came to my mind, too.
This went much further than this snow incident. These people have been feuding for a while. People are really tightly wound nowadays, and millions are urinated off about being conned and robbed out of their sacred voting privileges.
From my perspective, this environment will get much worse.
Shouldn’t the headline be “Trump Supporter Murders Two, Kills Self”?
Shooting someone over snow is nuts. Tells me a lot about how insulated you are from reality. Sounds like a-hole one shot a-holes 2&3 and then himself. 3 turds gone...Thats a win all around. Peole need to stop being a- holes
Holes to each other. Youll never know when they’ve had enough..
Seasonal Affective Disorder and the Covid lockdown are taking its toll on everyone.........
Lives were destroyed and ruined on both sides and that is the tragedy...........
^this^
They will still vote though.
It looked like the woman pulled her own handgun out while she was saying ‘go ahead’ as the guy walked out of his garage pointing his gun.
Regardless, the left couldn’t make a better gun control commercial if they tried.
I lived in Charlestown in Boston for many years. It’s a small neighborhood tightly packed with narrow streets. When a big storm hits, snow removal is a bitch and tensions rise. Witnessed many HEATED arguments. Several escalated to violence but never gunfire.
On a couple occasions I saw all 4 windows of a car smashed out and the interior completely filled with snow. You had to be careful with retaliation. Although Charlestown was full of yuppies gentrifying the place (called toonies by the locals) - the Townies (old-school long-time residents) didn’t play around.
I was military at the time so the Townies liked me even though I was a transplant. They made good allies most of the time..
It appears that the neighbors across the street were dumping snow in front of the guys house where he normally parks his truck. Combined with the mouths on them, it pushed the guy over the edge apparently. Wait till the MSM gets ahold of it.
Surely there must be some way to blame the victims here.
I can agree with that. Unfortunately, it is also true that such crimes occur very frequently. My Dad once told me that there are times to stand up and times to shut up. It's unwise to confuse the two.
Who are you, the thread compliance officer? Are there any other comments you want forbidden?
Well, watching the video was certainly educational.
They looked like they were across the street so I don’t see how they could have been shoveling snow into his yard for one thing.
The other is that the couple did nothing to de-escal;te the situation. They engaged fully in the dispute.
They probably had been at war with each other for a long time.
The neighbor who shot them ..... there’s no excuse for that. He really unloaded on them and you could hear them cry out in pain, then it looks like he walked across the street to finish off the job.
Why he decided to off himself, too is beyond me. But it does solve the problem of what to do with this with the justice system.
