Four people were killed early on Sunday morning at a car wash in Pennsylvania in the deadliest shooting in the US this year. One person was injured and the gunman was on life support with a gunshot wound to the head, officials said.

Officials said they had not yet established a motive. But local news channels reported that the shooting, in which two men and two women died, was linked to domestic violence.

The gunman, Timothy O’Brien Smith, 28, was wearing body armor and was armed with an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle, a 9mm handgun and a .308 rifle, Richard Bower, Fayette County district attorney, said at an afternoon press conference.

The four victims were apparently shot and killed with both the AR-15-style rifle and the handgun, Bower said.

Initial reports said five people were dead and one injured. Bower said four were dead and one, the gunman, was “not expected to survive”. It was not immediately determined if his head wound was self-inflicted.
