LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — Update, June 3: State Police in Lancaster released an update on Friday's Pennsylvania Turnpike shooting.
Through additional investigation and physical evidence collected at the scene by Troop J - Major Case Team, a white tractor-trailer was identified as a vehicle of interest.
Troopers say that on June 1, the white tractor-trailer was located in the parking lot of a shopping complex on Crossings Boulevard, Caernarvon Township in Berks County by the township's police department.
Inside the cab of the tractor-trailer was a deceased male with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, troopers stated.
