Fayette commissioner wounded in shooting
UNIONTOWN – Authorities said a Western Pennsylvania county commissioner was wounded in a shooting at his home.
A Fayette County emergency dispatch supervisor said a male called 911 about 1 a.m. Sunday and said 55-year-old Vincent Vicites was shot at the South Union Township residence.
Officials said Vicites was flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va.
District Attorney Richard Bower told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Vicites was in stable condition at the hospital.
He declined comment on the investigation, and state police released no details.
Vicites, a Democrat from Uniontown, served four terms as a commissioner from 1996 to 2011. He ran again for the board last year and won a seat in November.
