Police investigating shot fired into Jeep in Greensburg

GREENSBURG, Pa. — Police in Greensburg are working to find out why someone shot a vehicle on Brown Street early Friday morning. No one was hurt, but a Jeep had a single bullet hole in the driver’s side door.

“It’s ridiculous. I don’t know why anyone would play with a gun like that,” said Tammy Robinson, the mother of the woman who owns the Jeep.

Robinson has lived on Brown Street in Greensburg for nearly a decade.

“It’s been quiet,” she said.

That is until early Friday morning.

Her daughter’s Jeep, which was parked across the street, was shot around 1:30 a.m.

“I heard something, but I wasn’t sure,” Robinson told Channel 11′s Andrew Havranek. “I thought something fell in the house.”

She and her daughter didn’t know it was a gunshot until nearly four hours later when Robinson’s nephew woke her up while her daughter was getting ready for work.

“We came out and looked and she called the police,” Robinson said.

Police were on the scene with the road shut down for hours this morning gathering evidence, including doorbell cam video from homes in the area.

“At this point right now, we’re getting information there may be as many as four suspects involved in this shooting,” said Detective Sgt. Justin Scalzo.

Police say the victim did not know the four suspects seen on video in the neighborhood, and it’s unclear why her Jeep was targeted.

Police said the four individuals were seen walking down Brown Street at 1:07 a.m.

Nearly 20 minutes pass before they’re seen walking back up Brown Street before firing a single shot at the Jeep.

While that investigation is ongoing, both police and Robinson tell Channel 11 they’re glad this shooting wasn’t worse, calling it reckless.

“It could have been a lot worse,” Scalzo said. “That vehicle could have passed through that car and entered into a residence.”

“I’m really grateful she wasn’t in that car,” Robinson said. “I’m very grateful.”

If you have any information that can help Greensburg Police, you’re asked to give them a call.
