The Kelayres massacre was a shooting attack that took place the evening of November 5, 1934, in the coal-mining village of Kelayres, Pennsylvania, United States. An election-eve parade and rally by Democrats was fired on by multiple shooters as it passed the home of Joseph James Bruno, known as "Big Joe", the local Republican boss. Three victims died almost immediately and two others died over the next two days.
