Steven Beachy, 19, of Millersburg, Ohio, was shot in a mass shooting at P.J. Harrigan’s Bar and Grill in State College, Pennsylvania, on the evening of January 24, 2019. He and his 61-year-old father, Dean Beachy, were in town for a horse auction. Dean was killed at the scene; Steven was critically injured, taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center and then airlifted to UPMC Altoona, where he died on January 25, 2019.

Authorities say the shooter, 21-year-old Jordan Witmer of Benner Township, opened fire without any known motive. Witmer also shot a woman, Nicole Abrino, and later drove off, crashed his vehicle, forced entry into a nearby home and fatally shot 83-year-old George McCormick before shooting himself. Investigators reported no known connection between Witmer and the Beachy family and that Witmer had no prior criminal record and held a permit for the firearm used.
