SUNBURY—Sunbury police are investigating two separate shootings that happened early Friday morning.
Most recently, around 4am, police say they were called to the 200 block of Packer Street because a tractor- trailer truck had been hit by a bullet, possibly while driving along Route 147 in Point Township, Northumberland County. The driver of the truck told police a shot went through his driver side door. He was uninjured.
Earlier, police said they got calls just after midnight about several gunshots in the 500-800 block of South Second Street. Sunbury Police Capt. Steve Bennick tells us, officers recovered spent .40 caliber shell casings from the scene. They say they are looking for a smaller dark- colored sedan that sped away. Video shot in the neighborhood did reveal muzzle flashes coming from the driver’s side of the vehicle.
