Fatal Shooting at PA gun range

Recommended Posts

Years ago my brother in law was living down in Florida when a friend of his asked him to go out shooting with him (the friend suplied all of the firearms and ammo). When they got to where they were going to shoot (out in the middle of nowhere, the backwoods or some swamp) he handed my brother in law a loaded pistol and told him to tuck it into his belt so he had it handy while they were shooting. Apparently they had issues with guys coming up and murdering people and stealing their firearms when they were reloading.

 

Not saying that is the case but a lawyer who did personal injury may have made quite a bit of money and so might have some fairly expensive firearms on him. But as others have said, he was a laywer so he had to have some enemies so who knows.

Here is an update on this story,

 

 

 

Before he was killed, Todd Getgen, a firearms enthusiast, was trying out his custom made rifle at a public shooting range, on state game land in North Middleton Township, Cumberland County. Getgen bought a suppressor or silencer for his rifle at Freedom Armory in York County. His rifle, that the suspect stole after shooting Getgen, is an AR-15 type, semi automatic with a Lewis Machine Company Model Defender 2000, lower receiver, equipped with a 30 HRT upper receiver and a Yankee Hill Machine Company Phantom model 308 caliber suppressor or silencer.

2 prison guards face charges for shooting range homicide

 

By: Ben Russell

7/31 4:33 pm

 

Two corrections officers from the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill are charged in the shooting death of a Cumberland County attorney and the theft of his custom, silenced rifle, authorities announced late Friday.

 

Raymond Peake, 64, of Hampden Township, Cumberland County is charged with homicide, robbery and other crimes for the shooting death of Todd Getgen, 42, of Enola. The shooting happened last Wednesday at a State Game Commission rifle range in North Middleton Township, Cumberland County.

 

According to Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed, a witness told investigators they saw a man matching Peake's description driving away from the rifle range on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 21, the day Getgen was found shot to death.

 

On Thursday, July 29, officers began surveillance of Peake and followed him to a sporting goods store, where Freed said Peake purchased a gun cabinet. From there Freed said Peake drove to the Perry County home of Thomas Tuso, 34, of Duncannon, Perry County. Tuso is also a guard at SCI Camp Hill.

 

Freed told CBS 21 News that officers witnessed Peake carrying a heavy, black duffel bag out of Tuso's home. From there, detectives followed Peake to a storage unit facility south of Carlisle, Freed said. According to the district attorney, Peake then put the bag and the gun cabinet into a storage unit.

 

On Friday investigators executed three search warrants; at the storage unit, at Peake's home and at Tuso's home.

 

Freed said police found three firearms inside of the storage unit. One was Getgen's custom, silenced AR-15 rifle that was stolen from the range the day of his death. The second was a scoped Remington rifle that had been reported stolen from the same range in May. And the third gun was another AR-15 that Freed said ballistics may prove to be the murder weapon.

 

Freed said authorities confronted Peake and Tuso at the Camp Hill prison Friday.

 

Tuso is charged with conspiracy, receiving stolen property and other crimes, Freed said. Tuso's only connection to Getgen's homicide was storing the weapons, according to the district attorney.

 

On Saturday, CBS 21 News obtained court records. In them, Peake told police during an interview that he and Getgen were the only two people at the range. Peake said he found Getgen dead, then took his AR-15 with the attached suppressor. Peake said he later took the AR-15 to Thomas Tuso's home for the purpose of having Tuso keep it for him in Tuso's bedroom. Peake said he told Tuso that the weapon was from the man killed at the rifle range. Peake said Tuso kept guns for him and said they'd been " stealing guns for the purpose of overthrowing the federal government" ( of the United State of America.) Peake said he and Tuso together are members of this organization. Peake refused to name that organization and told police he would " kill to defend his country and he was stealing weapons to defend his country."

 

 

 

There are nuts everywhere, keep your awareness up and I would recommend a heightened sense of awareness where there are lots of loaded weapons around. Dont assume everyone at the range is friendly.

If they where already prison guards.. doesn't that mean they could have just purchased guns legally, then went about their evil plans?

 

They most likely intended on using these weapons for illegal purposes, or selling them to others for illegal uses. If you go buy a weapon then kill someone with it... its kinda a dead giveaway right? If you pay a premium for a silenced AR-15 from two dudes, then shoot someone with it, then ditch the gun... the popo will have a much harder time tracing it back to you. These two guys are very much wrapped up in some highly illegal shit :shock:

 

I just hope the courts hold nothing back when the book is thrown as these guys represent the means for many unsolved murders.

What I find interesting is the intentions of this group; ..."overthrowing the federal government".

 

Clearly if Obama was not president, this would have never happened. This really is Obama's fault. And you can't blame Bush on this one.

Explain how two cops killing someone over some guns has anything to do with Obama being President.

Umm,... because they specifically said they did this to accumulate weapons to "overthrow the government".

 

Clearly they want to overthrow the government to get rid of Obama's administration to stop them from destroying this once great country any further then they already have.
