UPDATED: Canonsburg Mayor Says Police Have Identified 'Two People of Interest' in Shooting Incident

Canonsburg police have identified two “people of interest” in a shooting incident that occurred outside a North Pike Street bar early Friday morning but Mayor David H. Rhome said investigators still need your help.

Rhome said police were summoned to Karen’s Korner, from which a fight spilled out from the bar and into the streets, where “shots rang out.”

Although he said police arrived within two minutes, the fight had dispersed and three vehicles had reportedly been seen leaving the area, possibly headed toward Interstate 79.

Blood was also found outside the bar, but Rhome said it was unclear if someone had been injured as a result of the shooting.

Canonsburg police then asked county dispatch to put out an alert for the cars. Sources say state police discovered a white Lumina at the Interstate 79-70 junction. There was one male occupant, a source close to the investigation said.

Rhome said Canonsburg police applied for a search warrant for the vehicle, which was issued by district Judge Robert Redlinger.

The mayor said the investigation is moving forward.

But that police still need your help.

“We need the community to rally around us,” he said. “We don’t want these people here. And we need to send them a message that it they don’t want to behave in our town, we frankly don’t want them here.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Canonsburg police at 724-745-8020, x 19. Those with information may also call Washington County 911.
