Authorities in Johnstown have identified the 17-year-old Greater Johnstown High School student who was shot and killed on Sunday evening at a home along Sheridan Street.  Coroner Jeff Lees says Syrina Raneri, suffered a single gunshot wound to the upper chest when she was shot in the basement of the home.  Arrested in the shooting was 17-year-old Kaden Woodring who allegedly pointed a rifle at her and pulled the trigger.  Police are still working to determine a motive behind the fatal shooting, but reportedly Cambria County District Attorney Greg Neugebauer has said the shooting may have been accidental.  Woodring has been charged as an adult with criminal homicide and other related counts.  He remains in the Cambria County Prison.  In the meantime a GoFundMe account has been set up to honor the memory of Syrina.
