DOUBLE SHOOTING IN ALIQUIPPA

The coroner was called at about 1:15 a.m. to the scene of a double shooting in Aliquippa on Wednesday morning.

An official said “It is believed it was an attempted home invasion. Both of the suspects had D.E.A. (Drug Enforcement Agency) shirts on.” It was stressed that the suspects were not actual law enforcement officers.

It was the homeowner who shot and killed one of the suspects and may have hit the other one who got away. Pennsylvania State Police say they are looking for 36-year-old Dana Penny, who is considered armed and dangerous.

The homeowner was also shot during the exchange and was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Pittsburgh where he was treated for non life-threatening injuries.

The shooting happened along the 100 block of Third Avenue. State police, Aliquippa police and Hopewell Township police were all on the scene.
