[News] Video captures moment after popular YouTuber’s girlfriend is shot by her ex-boyfriend before he fatally shoots himself

Harrowing video captures the moment right after a popular YouTuber’s girlfriend was shot in the leg by her abusive ex-boyfriend in West Virginia.
The video also captures the sound of the gunman then fatally shooting himself on Friday, Dec. 8.

YouTuber Hunter Avallone, known for debating with conservatives online, was at his Martinsburg apartment with his girlfriend Holle Peno, a Twitch streamer, when her ex-boyfriend of 11 years showed up and shot through the door, striking Peno in the leg.
Avallone began filming moments after Peno was shot, noting in the footage that his landlord had warned him about a “shady” man on the property with a gun under his jacket.

Peno’s former boyfriend, referred to as Conrad in the video, died by suicide after shooting through Avallone’s apartment door, according to the post shared by Avallone.
Peno and Conrad had broken up several weeks before, according to Peno’s social media accounts.

“I recorded the final moments in which we’re hiding on the back porch,” Avallone wrote next to footage showing Peno looking distraught and bleeding.

 

 

 

“You can hear him shoot at police before ultimately taking his own life…in my own f—king apartment hallway,” Avallone wrote.
Avallone appears to be on the phone with police at one point in the video, telling them the suspect is pounding hard on the door and that they can hear shouting.
