Four injured, one arrested in accidental shooting in Donora
DONORA – A shotgun discharged early Sunday while a Donora man was attempting to unload it, spraying four people on his front porch with birdshot, borough police said.
Three of the four victims were treated at Mon Valley Hospital for what police described as nonlife-threatening injuries.
Police did not identify the victims in court records filed in the arrest of Daniel K. Clark, the man accused of accidentally firing the 12-gauge shotgun.
Clark, 26, allegedly was drunk while handling the weapon outside his residence about 12:50 a.m.
Police initially were summoned there for a report of a woman who was shot in the leg.
Clark was charged with four counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count each of public drunkenness and disorderly conduct involving a hazardous offense.
He was placed in Washington County jail on $25,000 bond set Sunday morning by District Judge Larry Hopkins, and released later that afternoon after posting bond.
