That shooting happened outside a residence in the 500 block of West 9th Street, with Erie police saying Mandralla tried to drive himself to the hospital.
Police have not named a suspect at this time and are asking anyone for any “suspicious” surveillance they may have of that area around that time, while anyone with information is asked to contact them or Sergeant Jason Russell, who is the lead investigator.
