A woman was shot and killed Thursday night outside of a bar in Uniontown.
Uniontown City Police are investigating the shooting death of Samantha Harden, 34, of Uniontown who was shot outside of McPattons Pub on North Gallatin Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
Lt. Tom Kolencik said it appeared that Harden was involved in an argument with a group of people inside the bar a short time before she and two other people exited the bar.
He said it was moments later when approximately six gunshots were fired from a neighboring street. One of the rounds hit Harden. She was taken to WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital, where she died.
Kolencik said there were five shots that hit the bar near where Harden was standing.
“We are currently ascertaining video surveillance from surrounding homes and businesses,” Kolencik said, adding that police still need to conduct more interviews.
