Two men face multiple charges in a shooting incident that left two wounded in Jilly’s Restaurant and Tavern, 1201 1st St., Luzerne Township, about 2 a.m. Saturday.

State police in Belle Vernon said Paris Brown, 35, of Hiller, and Damion Ethridge, 33, of Brownsville, were struck and thrown out of the bar after Brown had an altercation with other patrons.

Police reported both pulled semiautomatic handguns and Ethridge fired numerous shots through the front door, then Brown entered the bar and began firing rounds, before both fled.

State police from Uniontown arrested both on Frick Street, Hiller, following a short foot chase.

Cassandra Ross, 30, of Brownsville, and Garrett Grooms, 26, of Cardale, were struck by bullets and transported to Uniontown Hospital for treatment. Ross was later transferred to a Pittsburgh area hospital.

Justina Patterson, 32, and Joseph Terreta, 61, both of Brownsville, also were in the bar at the time.

Brown and Ethridge were taken to Fayette County Booking Center, where each awaited arraignment on four charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person and one count of discharging into an occupied structure.
