Police found Noll’s parents suffering from gunshot wounds. While both of them were hospitalized, his mother’s condition is critical.
While his mother was later pronounced dead at the hospital, his father was released in stable condition.
Authorities launched an investigation to catch Noll, who fled the house on foot after the armed attack. He was thought to be armed and dangerous as police conducted an “extensive search” of the area.

“We used tracking dogs, we used helicopters, we used foot marshals searching rugged terrain,” Pennsylvania State Police Sergeant Richard Sizer said, according to CBS Pittsburgh.
“Obviously, a person running away armed with a warrant for murder poses a great danger to society,” Sizer continued.
Noll was captured without incident by West Virginia State Police on Saturday.
