The ex-boyfriend of a Mount Joy teen is accused of driving nearly two hours to her family’s home after receiving a Protection From Abuse order, fatally shooting her mother and injuring her, her stepfather, and younger sister in a late-night attack, according to the victims’ family.
Four family members were shot in a Mount Joy apartment by 21-year-old Ricky Shannon on Friday, Nov. 8, as Daily Voice previously reported.
Shannon allegedly drove nearly two hours after receiving a Protection From Abuse order to commit the attack, the victims’ family shared with Daily Voice. One PFA was filed against his ex-girlfriend, 19-year-old Gabriela “Gabby” Morgan, on Nov. 5, and the teen filed a PFA against him on Nov. 7, the police explained.
Gabby, her mom, Kimberly Day-Miller, her stepdad, Brian Miller, and her younger sister, Jennifer Day, were inside the Millers’ Mount Joy home when Shannon shot up and soon started shooting around 4:15 a.m., according to relatives and the police.
Kim was taken to the hospital after the shooting but ultimately was pronounced dead at 5:55 a.m. Gabby sustained multiple gunshot wounds before being forced into Shannon’s truck, according to the family. Brian and Jennifer survived but now face a long road to recovery after being shot and having witnessed the traumatic event.
