Indiana Borough Police have reported two incidents of shots fired Saturday night.
The first was reported at approximately 10 PM in the area of West Avenue and School Street. Indiana Borough Police said that someone in the back seat of a dark-colored sedan held a gun out the window and fired multiple shots into the air as it went along West Avenue towards South Street. Police said that no one was hurt and it did not appear to be targeting anyone in particular. Police conducted a traffic stop on Route 119 minutes after the incident and identified someone in that vehicle as the person responsible for the shooting and they are now in custody. The identity of the suspect was not released.
A second incident of shots fired was reported at 11:15 PM in the area of South 7th and Locust Street. Indiana Borough Police Chief Justin Schawl said the incident is not connected with the first shooting. There are no reported injuries in the second shooting, and no evidence of gunfire has been recovered. Details are limited and the investigation remains open, but IUP said in a text to the university community that there is no danger to the community.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call Indiana Borough Police at 724-349-2121.
