Two Shootings Reported Near Radnor

By Justin Heinze:

Two shootings took place last week in Ardmore, according to reports that emerged Friday.

The first incident took place on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, on the 100 block of Walnut Avenue at about 5:50 p.m., according to a report, while the second took place on November 28 at about 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of St. Paul’s Road and Spring Avenue.

Police arrived at the Thanksgiving Day shooting to see around 20 people running from the scene screaming “he’s got a gun,” Main Line Media News reports.

A man was reportedly seen by a witness being assaulted by a group of men on Walnut Avenue, the report states. The witness intervened when the attackers began to strip the victim’s clothes off.

A robbery nearby on County Line Road at about this time is suspected to be connected, the report states.

In the early morning hours of November 28, four to six gunshots were shot into a vehicle where four friends were pulled over on the side of the street, the report states.

It does not appear that any victims in either case were actually hit by a bullet.

It is not known if the incidents are related.

Anyone with any information on either incident is asked to contact the Lower Merion Police Department immediately at 610-649-1000.
