Gunman at East Lansdowne home who fired at two officers is presumed dead, along with 5 relatives, sources say

It was difficult, “gruesome” work, according to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer. And with frustration, he said that the full scope of what happened inside the ruined home on Wednesday afternoon may never be fully understood. Le’s father, Huong, made the initial 911 call to police after his older son reportedly shot one of Xuong Le’s daughters, the sources said. He then ran to safety with his wife, Chin, as police officers arrived to investigate.

Meanwhile, the officers shot and wounded outside the house, David Schiazza of the Lansdowne Police Department and John Meehan of the East Lansdowne department, continued to improve Thursday. Schiazza, 54, was released from Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in the afternoon after being treated for a gunshot wound to his leg. Meehan, 44, remained at the hospital Thursday, awaiting surgery for a gunshot wound to his left arm.

In that case, Le was charged with making terroristic threats, trespassing and disorderly conduct. The most serious charge was later dismissed, and Le agreed to community service for the lesser charges, through a diversionary program. The details of what led to Le’s arrest were not immediately available.
