Metallica Rose Harrison is a 27-year-old woman from Towanda, Pennsylvania. She was first hospitalized in police custody, as per reports.

She indicated a ‘next time’ when speaking about suicide with the cops, as per reports. "I just needed energy and strength", she further said.
An alleged photo of the family was also shared online.
A Facebook profile appearing to belong to her spelled the name as Metallicarose Harrison. While the husband had multiple stab wounds to the chest, the son had a single stab wound to the chest. A motive has not yet been determined in the matter.
