The Abington Township Police Department announced that a female was shot at Roslyn Park (2800 block of Susquehanna Road) on Wednesday, March 12 at approximately 11:06pm.
Officers arriving at the scene located a vehicle with two females inside, one of whom was a juvenile and suffering from a gunshot wound to her right hand, the other an adult. First aid was given to the juvenile victim before she was transported to Abington Jefferson Hospital.
The females told detectives that a male had approached the victim’s vehicle and asked to speak with them while they were sitting in the parking lot. The victim rolled down the window and spoke briefly to the male, at which point a second male “suddenly approached the vehicle and fired a single shot into it, striking the juvenile female in the hand,” police said.
The females immediately fled the scene in their vehicle and called for an ambulance. Police later determined that the suspects were no longer in the area.
One suspect is described as “a light-skinned male with a husky build and medium-length afro-style hair” wearing a black windbreaker, black pants, and a black-and-white bandana that obscured his face. The other is described as a “dark-skinned male, wearing dark clothing, black surgical gloves, and a black balaclava that concealed his face.”
Detectives are investigating the incident and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Andrew Ammaturo at 267-536-1065 or via email at aammaturo1@abingtonpa.gov.
