Two women who died while trying to intervene during a mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, have been identified by family members following a attack that left nine people dead, the New York Post reported.

The New York Post reported that 37-year-old Lora Roberts and 51-year-old Twila Tanner were identified through online fundraising campaigns as the friends who rushed to the Erie home. The two women attempted to save the niece of Roberts during the ongoing shooting. Loved ones stated that Roberts was a mother of five who had been engaged to her fiancé for 14 years. It is believed that the two friends were the last victims killed before the gunman died by suicide. [1]
