Trenton man turns himself in after shooting at Philadelphia-area gentlemen's club
MORRISVILLE, Pa. (CBS) -- A Trenton man who police say shot and critically wounded another man at a Bucks County gentleman's club early Thursday morning turned himself in.
The Bucks County District Attorney's Office said Pedro E. Rodriguez surrendered to authorities Thursday afternoon.
Police were dispatched to The Border Gentlemen's Club on Pennsylvania Avenue, just off Route 1 in Morrisville, a little after 1 a.m. for a report of a shooting, according to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office.
Officers found a 28-year-old man who had been shot in the back of the head, his left thigh and under both armpits. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Detectives learned there had been a fight at the doorway of the establishment, and found out the shooting victim was a bystander who was shot while trying to assist the staff. He didn't know the shooter.
In addition to attempted homicide and other offenses, Rodriguez faces charges of aggravated assault and simple assault, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure and possession of an instrument of crime, and 17 counts of recklessly endangering another person, according to the release.
After the shooting, Rodriguez and another man fled in a Lexus SUV going north on Route 1, into Trenton, the DA's office said.
Rodriguez was sent to Bucks County Correctional Facility under $5 million bail.
