According to Coroner G. Gary Kirchner there have been six confirmed deaths related to the Amish schoolhouse shooting in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania earlier today.

There have been several victims admitted to hospitals, some in serious condition after suffering gunshot wounds.

Early reports on the scene have indicated that the gunman is among the dead.
