ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE, Petitioner v. Tracy L. MOORE and Harold E. McCutcheon, III, Individually and as Administrators of the Estate of Harold Eugene McCutcheon, Jr., and Richard A. Carly, Respondents
    No. 87 WAL 2018
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    July 10, 2018
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 10th day of July, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:

1. Does the Superior Court's ruling that shooting a person during a fight, in turn, during a planned murder-suicide, constituted an "occurrence" under a liability insurance policy conflict with Pennsylvania law as established by this Court?
2. Does the Superior Court's ruling conflict with its own decision in American National Property and Casualty Co. v. Hearn, 93 A.3d 880 (Pa.Super. 2014), and misconstrue the intentional acts exclusion of a liability insurance policy?
3. Does the Superior Court's ruling conflict with Pennsylvania public policy, as stated in Mutual Benefit Ins. Co. v. Haver, 555 Pa. 534, 725 A.2d 743, 747 (1999), that liability insurance does not cover damages caused as a result of evil or illegal conduct?
