Police: Man shoots, kills Lowe's coworker
A Lowe's employee shot a fellow employee to death early Saturday morning, according to a criminal complaint. Christopher Wasnetsky, 36, of Dalton, is charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Lackawanna County District Attorney Brian Gallagher anticipates more charges to be filed following an autopsy scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday. According to the criminal complaint: Officers responded to Lowe's on Viewmont Drive in Scranton at 12:36 a.m. for the report of a shooting. Police found Jeff Moeller on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in a pool of blood amidst multiple gun casings. There was a semi-automatic handgun on the ground near a shopping cart located about 30 feet from the victim. The handgun appeared to be unloaded. There was a live round on the ground and the magazine next to the handgun. The handgun was found to be a Springfield 9mm handgun. Wasnetsky himself called in the shooting, stating, 'I'd like to report a shooting at the Dickson City Lowe's, I was the person that did it.' Officers transported Moeller to the Geisinger Community Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Officers arrested Wasnetsky without incident and brought him back to the police department. During an interview he said Moeller had been harassing him and no one would do anything about it. Wasnetsky said he had approached Moeller while he was working on a machine and shot him in the chest without warning. He said Moeller fell to the ground and asked for help. Wasnetsky told police he didn't want him to suffer, so he shot him in the head and chest. This is a developing story. More information will be added as it becomes available.

Police: Suspect tracked obituaries, stole from dead St. Louis County residents
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A suspect tracked obituaries of multiple St. Louis County residents who recently died, then broke into their homes to steal jewelry, weapons and other high-priced items, police say. The suspect allegedly left his own debit card behind at one home, eventually linking him to multiple burglaries. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has charged Brandon Welch, 33, of St. Louis, with second-degree burglary and two counts of stealing. Homicide investigation underway in north St. Louis County The burglary leading to Welch's charges occurred on May 6, 2024 in the 2600 block of Blackforest Drive in south St. Louis County. According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Welch acted with another person to steal a Lowes credit card, jewelry and a firearm from the home. Investigators say Welch left behind his own debit card at the scene, along with a card belonging to the victim of another apparent burglary. While investigating, police learned that a neighbor's surveillance camera captured a Dodge Ram at the scene for nearly four hours, which later linked Welch to the crime. After the burglary, the victim's Lowe's card was used to purchase more than $3,000 of merchandise for pickups. A driver in a Dodge Ram later arrived at the Lowe's location to retrieve items, but the store had been alerted to possible fraud and ultimately stopped the transaction. That's when Welch allegedly called Lowe's twice in an attempt to complete the pickup. Investigators then began tracking his phone activity, which revealed unusual patterns.

Subscribe Now According to court documents, Welch's Gmail account showed that he search for obituaries in the St. Louis region, along with directions for at least two homes of deceased victims. Welch's Gmail account captured an IP address activity that linked his location to Black Forest Drive on the day of the burglary. Phone logs determined Welch made 15 calls to a specific phone number shortly before the Dodge Ram pulled up to the victim's home. Authorities issued a warrant for Welch's arrest on Tuesday, per Missouri court records. It's unclear if any additional suspects are facing or could face charges in this case.
