"I'm appalled, because things like that that close to home, you know it it gives you a sense of false security, like you never know who's around or who's capable of doing what," Williamsport resident Darsean Mosley told 28/22 News.
"I have three kids, you know, and they like to go to the park over where we play. You know, so now that makes me feel like I gotta watch them even closer, which I already watch him close enough as it is anyway," Rick Probst from Williamsport said.
The Lycoming County Coroner told 28/22 News they found the man had taken his own life.
