Police arrested two men and one woman in a Canonsburg drive-by shooting that left an apartment riddled with 21 bullet holes.
The shooting happened in late July on Perry Como Street. A 6-year-old girl was asleep on the couch inside of the apartment that was targeted.
Police believe the shooters were targeting the child’s father. Friday morning, multiple police departments and SWAT teams raided two homes in Washington and arrested three people in the case.
Police say Dillon Britt and Brett Carroll both fired shots into the building. Jessica Chatman-Carroll was also charged in the case. Officers say she was the driver and drove them in her minivan.
Surveillance video captured the shooting that night, which came close to hitting a man sitting outside at this firepit.
“I want you to know Canonsburg is a safe town and we will not tolerate that behavior here, as no other town should tolerate it,” said Mayor David Rhome, who went with police to this morning’s raid.
Neighbor Dee Ankney said she was relieved to hear arrests were made.
“This doesn’t happen out here. Everything is so peaceful. We don’t get that. And as soon as this happened, they moved out. So that was the end of it,” Ankney said.
Police say Chatman-Carroll told investigators the men were angry over alleged threats made on Snapchat. She said the three of them left a child’s birthday party to head to Canonsburg that night.
