WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — One person was killed in a shooting in Wilkes-Barre Thursday night.
Police were called to the 200 block of South Washington Street around 10:30 p.m. after shots rang out.
According to the district attorney, someone living in a second-floor apartment of a building there shot and killed a man.
Wilkes-Barre police have not released the identity of the victim or of the alleged shooter, but say they do know who that person is, and the suspect is cooperating with investigators.
Authorities say the suspected gunman and the victim did know each other but have not yet given a reason for the deadly shooting in Wilkes-Barre.
We are waiting for the district attorney to release more details about what happened in a deadly shooting Thursday night in Wilkes Barre.
Early Friday morning, Newswatch 16 mistakenly said the shooting happened in a group home. The group home is the other half of the building, not where the shooting happened. We apologize for the error.
