A young Pennsylvania couple who were high school sweethearts are dead in a murder-suicide carried out by the husband less than two years after they tied the knot, police said.
Ryan Hosso, 26, gunned down his physician assistant wife, 25-year-old Madeline Spatafore, inside their Butler, Pa., home early Tuesday before retreating into nearby woods, where he turned the gun on himself, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
When officers responded, they found Spatafore dead inside the home. Police used thermal drones to locate Hosso’s body in the woods, the Cranberry Eagle reported.
Spatafore sustained “multiple gunshot wounds,” while Hosso only had one injury, police said.
The couple tied the knot in Ohio in September 2024, according to their wedding registry.
They both graduated from Seneca Valley High School in Harmony, Pennsylvania — just 10 miles outside their home in Seven Fields, a borough of Butler.
Spatafore graduated from high school in 2019 and then attended Duquesne University. She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in health services in 2023.
She was employed as a critical care physician assistant at UPMC Presbyterian at the time of her death, according to her LinkedIn.
It’s unclear if or where Hosso went to college. He previously worked as a mechanical engineer at Vavco, a Pittsburgh-based engineering firm for the oil and gas industry, according to his LinkedIn.
Ryan chose to end his life after a short, cruel phone call. His family heard the breakdown in his voice, they tried their best to bring him back, but the darkness had already taken him away forever
