Bullet Strikes Darby Borough Home After Caught on Cam Brawl Leads to Shooting

UPDATE: One person was arrested in connection to the shooting and police have identified the alleged gunman as well as another suspect. DETAILS HERE


A bullet struck a home in the Darby Borough Sunday after a brawl led to a shooting.

Police say a group of people armed with bats and other weapons began fighting on 3rd Street and Greenway Avenue.

Police released a cellphone video of the brawl which showed several men and women attacking each other with weapons. At one point a woman runs after the person recording the fight and begins to attack him or her.

The video also shows a man in a black shirt pull out what appears to be a gun.

"You could see the guy pulling the gun out of his pocket," said Darby Police Chief Robert Smythe. "He's got fatigue pants on. He takes the gun out." 

Police say the fight ended with at least one person pulling out a gun and opening fire though the video they released does not show the actual shooting.

"I heard six loud popping sounds," said Jennifer Parks, a Darby Borough Council member. "I opened my door and came outside." 

Six rounds in all were fired and at least one bullet struck Kiana Pittman's home.

"It's very appalling," Pittman said. "I mean the neighborhood has definitely come down. But for it to actually affect my house directly? It's very scary because someone could've been in there."

No one was killed or seriously hurt during the incident. Police continue to investigate what caused the fight and are analyzing the video to track down the suspects. No arrests have been made.
