Owner Thomas Roberts said the incident occurred around 9 a.m. Wednesday when one of the chefs arrived for work and saw two men wearing traffic vests sitting near a dumpster in the parking lot. When the chef asked if he could help them, the men reportedly said, “No, we’re okay,” before firing several shots in his direction.
Newberry Township police arrived shortly after the incident and issued a shelter-in-place order for the area. The nearby Northeastern School District also implemented a “secure response,” preventing anyone from entering or exiting the district buildings. The shelter-in-place order was lifted around noon.
Newberry Township Police Chief Farzad Sharif said officers spent the afternoon canvassing the area and interviewing neighbors. K-9 units were also deployed during the search.
The restaurant owner confirmed that all staff members at the Conewago Inn are safe and unharmed. Employees briefly locked the doors and stayed inside while police conducted their initial search.
The restaurant owner said police found a shell casing and a traffic vest similar to the ones worn by the suspects.
