9 injured in Lancaster County horse and buggy crash

Nickel Mines, UNITED STATES: An Amish horse and buggy goes down a road near the one-room West Nickel Mines Amish School, 03 October 2006, in the town of Nickel Mines near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a day after Charles Carl Roberts IV, from the nearby town of Bart, opened fire in the school killing three girls and wounding seven others before killing himself. The death toll in a gunman’s slaughter at an Amish school in Pennsylvania rose to five on Tuesday as police tried to figure out what made an anonymous truck driver snap and go on his killing rampage. Two Amish girls, aged seven and eight, who had been shot “execution style” in the head, died in hospitals in the region early Tuesday, police and hospital officials said.
