Mahanoy City police are still searching for the suspects after a drive-by shooting that occurred in the borough Friday afternoon.
The incident occurred about 2:40 p.m. at a home at 28 E. Pine St., across from the U.S. Post Office.
Officer-in-Charge Charles Kovalewski said three Hispanic men inside a black four-door Infinity car with out-of-state license plates drove east on East Pine Street and fired five shots into the home from what is believed to be a small caliber semi-automatic handgun, then fled the area east on East Pine Street.
Kovalewski added that the men were unable to be identified because they had hoods over their heads. Authorities said the investigation revealed the occupants of the car were at Mahanoy City Food Store on South Main Street just prior to the shooting. Police have released a photo of the suspects they are looking for.
