Pottstown saw another shooting in recent days that left three people injured. In the July incident, neighbors described how a teenage birthday party spiraled out of control, according to 6abc.com. Viewer video revealed a shocking scene unfolding on the 100 block of North Warren Street in Montgomery County.
"There's a bunch of kids out here having a birthday party, and next thing you know, a car came through and started shooting, and everybody started scattering," said David Bird, a neighbor who saw the violence unfold.
Three people were discovered with gunshot wounds. "People who got shot, some people dragged them, trying to hide them. And once they saw the cops, some people let the people who got shot go and ran off. So they left their friends behind. Sickening, it is," Bird told Action News.
In another incident, a suspect was recently arrested in connection to a crime in Pottstown. U.S. Marshals Service Philadelphia shared on X, “@USMS_Philly and @PhillyPolice 12th district officers arrested Wanyea Bailey, 30, in the 5400 block of Angora Terrace. Bailey was wanted by @PottstownPolice for aggravated assault and weapons possession in relation to a July 26 midday shooting in the 400 block of Walnut St.”
