A man whose toddler was among eight people killed in a mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, says the gunman was a grandfather who never seemed distressed or out of the ordinary. Julius Windham said Sunday that he believed the 45-year-old shooter’s affable demeanor was “a front.” Windham spoke to The Associated Press as he stood at a memorial to victims of Friday’s shooting, including his 1-year-old daughter Amarianna, her pregnant mother and the woman’s 5-year-old son and unborn baby. The gunman took his own life. Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah says he was related to seven of the victims.
