BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Police in Bethlehem say a worker was injured after somebody fired shots into a storefront window early Monday morning.
Officers responded to the 300 block of South New Street around 1:15 a.m. for a report of shots fired, the Bethlehem Police Department says in a news release.
Video from the scene showed police putting up crime tape at Taylor Family Fuel and Mini Mart.
Officers found a worker at the business who was hit by glass fragments, and crews brought him to a local hospital, city police say.
Police say the worker is expected to survive.
Surveillance footage from the area captured a person outside who was firing a firearm into the business, which was occupied, Bethlehem police say. The person then immediately ran away, the news release says.
Police say detectives are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and are working to obtain additional surveillance footage and identify people who may have witnessed the incident.
At the time of the shooting, an event was being held at Sky Lounge, which is across the street from the incident, police say.
As a result, police say an increased number of people were in the immediate area. Investigators believe that individuals attending the event may have witnessed activity relevant to the investigation or captured video footage before, during, or after the shooting.
The Bethlehem Police Department is asking anyone who was in the area of South New Street early Monday morning to contact investigators. People who have cellphone recordings, surveillance footage, or other information are strongly encouraged to come forward, even if they did not directly witness the shooting, city police say in the news release.
