Jamell David Whitmore, 18, of Upper Merion Township, faces a formal arraignment hearing for firing multiple gunshots at an occupied vehicle in Abington Township on Sunday, March 22, The Reporter said.

The incident took place behind the McKinley Firehouse in Elkins Park. Abington police said several callers reported numerous gunshots and a large group fleeing from the area of the basketball court behind the firehouse.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that a large group had been gathered near the basketball court,” the report said. “As a vehicle traveled northbound on Cadwalader Avenue, two males ran into the parking lot of the McKinley Firehouse, retrieved firearms, and one male discharged multiple rounds at the passing vehicle.”

No one was injured during the gunfire.

Whitmore has been charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, carrying a firearm without a license, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, The Reporter said. His arraignment hearing will take place in Montgomery County court on June 3.
