The pregnant mom shot dead by her killer father in a grisly Pennsylvania murder-suicide boasted about the upcoming arrival of her “blessing” baby boy she was set to deliver Monday in a tragic final post.

Matthew Stone Sr., 45, was identified Monday as the gunman behind the horrific scene that left his pregnant daughter Angelina Stone, 24, sons Matthew Stone Jr., 21, and Jonathan Stone, 19, and wife Michelle Stone, 44, dead — before he turned the gun on himself Friday, Erie County coroner Lyell Cook said.

Stone also gunned down Angelina’s 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter, in addition to two women who tried to intervene, Lora Roberts, 37, and Twila Tanner, 51.

Angelina posted on Facebook on Sept. 25 about her excitement at the upcoming birth of her “chunky boy,” who she was planning to name Kyrie.

Sharing ultrasound scan pictures of the baby, she wrote, “A Blessing in My Eyes Momma Can’t Wait To Hold Yooouu.”

Police have not said what the gunman’s motives were but suggested mental health could have played a role.
