1 Killed, 8 Injured in Pennsylvania Shooting; Police Searching for Multiple Suspects

Jamar Montae Porterfield Herriot, Jr., 22, died of gunshot wounds, police tell PEOPLE

Shots broke out at the Chevy Chase Community Center in White Township, Pa., shortly after midnight Sunday.

Nine people were struck in the gunfight, and Jamar Montae Porterfield Herriot, Jr., 22, of Homestead, Pa., died on the scene, Pennsylvania State Police Trooper First Class Clifford A. Greenfield tells PEOPLE.

The other eight injured — 5 men and 3 women — were all between the ages of 18 and 23, state police said in a press release this weekend. One of the injured, an 18-year-old man from Chicago, was listed in critical condition as of Sunday morning. Two injured people were released and the other six still undergoing treatment as of Sunday night, police said.

“Dozens of gunshots were fired” inside the building and that investigators had recovered a slew of shell casings and “multiple firearms,” Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a press conference Sunday.

The shooting occurred at a private event with a fee at the door to get in with some 150 people at the community center, Bivens said.

“You can imagine the chaos that would ensue from a number of gunshots in a relatively confined space,” Bivens said. “People dove through windows, people ran through doors, ran through porch railings, trying to get away from that scene.”

The shooters also got away, and police said that they are investigating the case as a multi-shooter incident, although officials declined to say how many shooters are suspected in the case.
