Philadelphia man wanted for shooting man in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, on Memorial Day, police say
ARDMORE, Pa. (CBS) -- A Philadelphia man is wanted for shooting a 26-year-old man at Spencer Reid American Legion Post in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, on Memorial Day, Lower Merion police said.
Lower Merion police said Andrew McCutchen, 35, shot a 26-year-old man at Spencer Reid American Legion Post on Monday just before 7 p.m. McCutchen is wanted on attempted homicide and other related offenses, according to police. He's considered armed and dangerous.
The 26-year-old man was struck by gunfire multiple times and placed in critical but stable condition, according to police. Authorities said the 26-year-old was "targeted" and an "earlier disturbance" led to the shooting.
After McCutchen fled American Legion with another man in a dark gray 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS, police said a man exited American Legion and fired gunshots at McCutchen inside the car. It's unclear if McCutchen or the other man were struck by gunfire. Police said they're working to identify the man who fired shots outside American Legion.
Police said McCutchen is 5 feet, 11 inches and weighs about 220 pounds. He has a full black beard and medium hair in short braids or twists. McCutchen also has teardrop tattoos under his right eye and a dime-sized dark mark under his left eye, according to police.
McCutchen was last seen wearing eyeglasses, a black soft-brimmed hat, white T-shirt, black athletic shorts, white socks and sneakers.
Police said the dark gray Chevrolet Trailblazer McCutchen fled in has a Pennsylvania registration of MMN-9443. The car also has a bumper sticker next to the license plate that reads "Rest Awhile For Miles," a tow hitch, Chevrolet-branded mud flaps and a roof rack.
Authorities said the Trailblazer may also have bullet holes or broken windows on the passenger side of the vehicle.
People who live near the American Legion are on high-alert after the shooting.
Patrick Sutton, who lives next door, said he heard "four gunshots."
Another neighbor, Vincent DeGideo, said he was alarmed to see a heavy police presence on his street following the shooting.
Kelly Magri was home as police surrounded the area.
"There's houses everywhere," Magri said. "There's children playing all the time, the sun was out last night, it was beautiful last night, so to hear that someone was shot in Ardmore is surprising."
For now, she, like many others, remains concerned as both shooters remain on the run.
"Shocking, I don't think we would have ever expected to hear that," Magri said.
The American Legion was closed Tuesday following the shooting.
Police are urging anyone with information about McCutchen's whereabouts or the Chevrolet Trailblazer to contact Lower Merion Police at 610-649-1000 or 610-645-6228.
