When 50-year-old Brian Neiman of Pottersdale arrived at the radio station, police ordered him to stop. Neiman refused and reportedly became violent. Police say Neiman branished a gun and drove at them in his Ford Bronco. Witnesses say "dozens of shots" fired as Neiman exchanged gunfire with police.

After Neiman hit a second police cruiser, his SUV struck the side of the station's building and stopped. Centre County Coroner Scott Sayers pronounced Neiman dead on the scene.

Police aren't sure why Neiman targeted the radio station.
