BUFFALO, NY (WIVB) A murder-suicide in Hamburg came as a shock to a quiet Hamburg neighborhood, and especially to those who lived in the same building but never heard a gunshot.

It was 3:45 a.m on Wednesday when Hamburg Police got a call from a man identifying himself as Kevin.”He stated he had just shot his girlfriend and at which point he said he was going to shoot himself,” said Lt. Nick Ugale of the Town of Hmaburg Police Department.

Hamburg Police rushed to the home on Loring Avenue near Bayview Road. When they got to the door and tried to contact him. They heard a final gunshot. 31 year old Kevin Kopper was found dead in a back bedroom. twelve hours earlier, he had changed his profile photo to one of him holding a shotgun with a silencer at the end of the barrel. In the kitchen area police found his girlfriend, 25 year old Danielle Morse, a local bartender who friends say was generous, full of positive energy and very confident, but who 24 hours before the shooting had posted on her Facebook page..only the words, “I need to get out of this house”.

Friends say the two had only been together for less than a year, and only in the last few months did they live in an appartment of this three unit house. Because there was some kind of silencer on the shotgun Kevin Kopper used, even the other tenants heard nothing.

“I learned about this at 4:30 in the morning when the police came,” said Lero Osborn, who lives in a different apartment of the same house. “Just yesterday these people were here. I didn;t know them very well, a young man and woman whose life was snuffed out suddenly and I would just pray that somehow Jesus Christ may be known and they would be comforted and there may be prayers for friends and relatives. I don’t know who this affected, but it’s obviouslya deep tragedy for so many people.”

Visitation services for Morse are scheduled from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday at Sieck, Mast, and Leslie Funeral Home, 250 Orchard Park Road in West Seneca.
