Overview
- Christopher Wasnetsky allegedly opened fire at a Lowe’s in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on June 14, fatally shooting coworker Jeff Moeller as he operated a forklift.
- He sent an email to Lowe’s human resources before the shooting outlining his intent and later called 911 to confess to the killing.
- Police arrested Wasnetsky on the scene and charged him with first- and third-degree murder; he remains held without bail at Lackawanna County Prison ahead of a June 30 preliminary hearing.
- An internal review found Wasnetsky’s prior harassment complaints against Moeller to be unfounded, and Lowe’s says it is fully cooperating with investigators.
- Moeller, a father of three remembered by colleagues for his kindness, died at Geisinger Community Medical Center after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds.
