State police seek man after female shot in Pennsylvania home
UNIONTOWN (AP) – State police were searching for a man they considered “armed and dangerous” after a young woman was shot in her southwestern Pennsylvania home.
Troopers from the Uniontown barracks were not immediately identifying the victim who was believed to be in her teens or early 20s.
Fayette County 911 dispatchers say the shooting was reported about 9:20 a.m. Thursday in North Union Township, which is about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh. The woman was taken to an unspecified hospital.
Laurel Highlands High School and R.W. Clark Elementary school, which are both near the shooting scene, were briefly locked down as a precaution.
Police say they’re looking for a 6-foot-7, black man wearing a tan hat and jacket and jeans driving a white Chevrolet Avalanche with New York plates. The suspect, who police haven’t named, is in his 30s.
