Video footage secured in Washington shooting
A search warrant was successfully executed Tuesday at the Washington Community Club — gaining detectives access to video surveillance footage of a recent shooting outside the building.
The shooting occurred Nov. 26 outside of the club on North Main Street after a patron was removed, according to police, TribLive previously reported.
A man had been shot multiple times, and he was transported to a Pittsburgh hospital.
The video footage is now being “thoroughly reviewed and analyzed” by investigators, according to a Washington Police Department Facebook post written by Chief Steve Devenney.
“The City of Washington Police Department hopes that the recovered evidence will shed further light on the events that took place and lead to the identification and arrest of those responsible for this violent incident,” the statement said.
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact the police department, according to the chief.
