Pennsylvania Father Commits Murder-Suicide, Leaving Five Children Orphaned

Community rallies to support children through a GoFundMe campaign as police continue to investigate the motive behind the tragic incident.

Blase Raia, 39, shot his wife Brooke Zimmerman Raia, 34, before killing himself in their Pennsylvania home, leaving their five children orphaned.
The incident occurred during a domestic dispute on December 19, with four of the children present in the house at the time.
The eldest child discovered the crime scene upon returning home from work.
Both parents were involved in the local racing community, prompting members to start a GoFundMe for the children, which has raised over $56,000.
The children are currently staying with other family members as police continue to investigate the motive behind the murder-suicide.
