Crime Police search for suspected shooter near Pennsylvania Walmart - Guess who?

Article

Police shut down a road as officers searched for a shooting suspect near a Walmart in northeast Pennsylvania on Wednesday.

An officer on the scene in Pittston Township said authorities are dealing with an active shooter situation, which was later declared by state police to be an attempted homicide. Motorists are encouraged to avoid using Route 315 in the area, according to the Times Leader.

Officials have not issued a statement about any injuries as of 6 p.m., but an injured woman is said to have been taken from Envy Nails, a salon in the plaza, which seemed to be a primary focus of the investigation. A tarped car was also taken away from the scene at about 5:40 p.m.

The suspect sought by police is a black man with dreadlocks and a skinny build between 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 5 feet, 8 inches tall. He is wearing a blue shirt with white lettering, according to Fox 56.

The shooter at large is believed to have fled on foot. Multiple police agencies are involved in the manhunt for the suspect.

The Pittston Township Police Department has not responded to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.

Have they looked inside all the doll boxes and like kids playsets inside the Walmart because there could be shenanigans going on.

Might be using it as a safehouse to lay low.

Two active shooters today, two black suspects and nothing on twitter or the media.

They're still running Texas as the headline.

Now we're covering each and every funeral to make sure you feel extra bad and by the way we are definitely not glorifying the shooter by doing this because we say clearly that we are not glorifying the shooter while we're glorifying the shooter.

Bless your heart. Do you not know about affirmative action in not only medical school admissions but residency placement? Pair that with stagnant wages, tone deaf admin, and increasing hours and who else but catty minority women are willing to put up with the BS most patients put nurses through? The medical field is in a dark place now.

Good anecdote.

Several people I know work for a home-care company. During Covid it was all "oh, you guys are heroes" and all that. Not that it translated to good wages. What it did translate into was a new insurance policy that cost the workers $1,100 a month. When they called the insurance company and asked what kind of coverage they could get privately for $1,100 a month, not mentioning the policy that they had to twist the company's arm to get the documentation for, they found out that they'd get a superior policy. Despite complaints, the cost of the policy went up to $1,300 recently.

Add in that most of the people have to commute and drive to different client's homes, the hours are long (including some overnight schedules), and they asked for a raise to cover increased costs of commuting and food and to offset the increase in the company mandated insurance.

Nope. No raise. Do it because people shouldn't go into medical for the money! Oh, and we're going to increase your hours too, eliminate a couple sick days, and remove paid time off.

BUT YOU'RE HEROES!

A lot of people are leaving that company now and of course it's "healthcare in crisis" and "Why don't Millennials want to work?" bullshit.

That's very much believable. With out PLing I will leave it at I am very informed of goings on in the home-care markets in particular. For the giants out there when it's good, it's great, and the executive wages and the war chest grows. Generally the smaller shops out there will elect to go where the giants aren't and set up shop. If you cannot maintain viability until medicare billing approval you are toast. No way around it. Then a downturn comes and the small shops are on the ropes. They are trying to hold out because now is when the giants go about selecting acquisitions. They make an offer you cannot refuse, acquire the company, and change it to their way or the highway overnight. Regardless of what's going on it is very rare that rank and file employees are treated well.
