Domestic Violence
Officials say 31-year-old Tiffany Busch was shot and killed by her husband, Chad Busch.
“It’s believed that the incident began as a verbal domestic dispute between a husband and wife,” said Cambria County District Attorney Greg Neugebauer.
Investigators say two children were present in the home along Virginia Avenue at the time of the incident.
“One of the children, a very young child, was in the room at the time. I can’t imagine a child being subjected to seeing that,” Neugebauer said.
Neugebauer said he’s seen this trend increasing since the pandemic began.
“Unfortunately, we have seen an increase over the last year or so of children being present for domestic violence issues, physical and verbal,” he told 6 News.
