According to authorities, a 57-year-old lady was shot and died over the weekend in her Harrisburg home with a bullet intended for another person.
According to police Lt. Kyle Gautsch, the woman was struck when gunfire began outside her residence on the 300 block of Hummel Street at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Saturday. According to Gautsch, investigators don’t think the woman who was killed was the intended victim. Her identity was kept a secret.
No one else was hurt, according to Gautsch, although there were other individuals in the house when the incident occurred. According to her family, she was playing cards when she was shot, as reported by PennLive.
A guy was discovered dead on the street near 18th and Carnation Street less than 48 hours after police arrived on the scene of a gunshot incident. The man’s name and age were among the few details that were known about the homicide that occurred at 12:15 a.m. on Monday.
Only after daybreak on Monday did detectives reopen the area after canvassing the scene through the night.
According to Gautsch, authorities are looking into a possible connection between the Monday death a mile distant and the Saturday killing on Hummel.
The first block of North 18th Street between Whitehall and Carnation streets in Harrisburg was the location of a fatal shooting on Monday.

According to Gautsch, the 64-year-old man who was slain in a shooting outside a Walnut Street home on Friday morning was completely unrelated to the next two killings. The identity of that man was kept secret. After the murder, police spoke with a suspect, but he was not taken into custody or charged.
As of Monday, no one has been taken into custody in any of the killings.
Despite having only nine investigators, Gautsch said the police is constantly pursuing leads in both new and unresolved crimes from previous years.
Gautsch remarked, “It’s very regrettable that this is already occurring this early in the year.” I’m hoping that we can turn things around and that this year won’t be the same as previous.
2024 had 23 homicides, the most number of killings in the city in a single year since 1987. If you know anything about any of the open homicide cases, police ask that you phone 717-558-6900 or use CrimeWatch to report it.
