SHIPPENSBURG – Details about what was found and seized from the house that 8-year-old Alex Pfaff was shot in on Sept. 1 have been released.
Matthew Pfaff, his 6-year-old brother, shot him with a revolver in the Shippensburg area home, while their mother slept. Alex has since died from the resulting injuries.
According to the inventory report, police found a revolver that is believed to be the one used by Matthew, a rifle, a .22 caliber magazine with ammunition, marijuana pipe, grinder, two bottles for prescription medication, 11 other pill bottles and a weekly pill container. Prescription medications at the scene were oxycodone and ondansetron. 
Alex had been shot in the head by Matthew while their mother slept in the same room, according to the affidavit.
When police initially searched the house, they found the above items and seized them for testing and evidence. The house was also considered “unfit for children” due to the piles of trash, abandoned vehicles, open food containers, piles of dirt and barriers of trash bags.
Their mother, Jessica Pfaff, had been asleep in the bedroom with Matthew and Alex when the shooting occurred. According to the affidavit, both the rifle and the revolver were loaded and in the room with them, easily accessible by the children.
Pfaff told police that she did not wake up when the gun was fired, but rather when Matthew woke her up saying “I shot Alex.”
In a press conference last week, Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed said that he would not charge Matthew for the shooting, because he’s too young to face such a charge, even in a juvenile court. Instead, his office will take a look at all of the evidence found in the house and the results of the blood tests given to Jessica Pfaff and decide on criminal charges. He expects to file charges along the lines of either endangering the welfare of a child or reckless endangerment.
