In a shocking incident, Holle Peno, a popular Twitch streamer and girlfriend of YouTuber Hunter Avallone, was shot in the leg by her ex-boyfriend, known as "Conrad," who later committed suicide during a confrontation with the police.
The incident occurred at Avallone's residence in West Virginia, as reported by the New York Post.
Avallone shared his harrowing experience on social media, stating, "I'm still trying to process this, but only a few hours ago, Holle's ex-boyfriend Conrad showed up at my apartment building with a shotgun. He shot through my building door, injuring Holle's leg in the process. I recorded the final moments in which we're hiding on the back porch. You can hear him shoot at police before ultimately taking his own life...in my own f*cking apartment hallway." He further added, "Holle and I are physically ok, but mentally, this is gonna do some serious damage. Holle has been amazing and she's been incredibly brave and strong throughout this ordeal."
During the incident, Peno and Conrad were in communication via text messages, with Peno urging Conrad to surrender. When Peno informed him that she was "losing a lot of blood," Conrad expressed regret, stating he "never meant for that," and once again asked her to "leave [Avallone]." Peno responded, "Only if you surrender," to which Conrad agreed, but not before expressing his regret for not having "killed the coward," referring to Avallone.
The Herald-Mail reported that the shooting took place shortly before 12:30 pm on Friday at Avallone's North Queen Street home in Martinsburg, approximately 75 miles northwest of Washington, DC. Upon arrival, Conrad fired his shotgun through the front door, hitting Peno. When the police arrived, Conrad continued his attempts to force entry into the home, leading to a brief exchange of gunfire with the officers before he turned the weapon on himself.
Peno was rushed to Berkeley Medical Center with injuries described as non-life-threatening. In the aftermath of the incident, a GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist Avallone and Peno in their recovery, raising over $800 to date.
