Man facing attempted homicide charges after January shooting in Bethel Park
Charges have been filed in a shooting in Bethel Park where police said a man shot his brother and then shot himself.
According to police, Seth Zimmerman shot his brother twice last month after he was given an ultimatum. Now, he's facing multiple charges including attempted homicide for trying to kill his own brother before turning the gun on himself.
On January 30, just after 1 p.m., police and SWAT converged on the home on Chessbriar Drive near Thornwood Drive when a shooting was reported.
Despite being shot in the face and chest, police said the victim was able to call 911 for help and identified his brother Seth as the shooter.
Both of them were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
According to police paperwork, the victim told officers they were not arguing at the time of the shooting but he had previously older Zimmerman he needed to get a job or move out.
The victim remains in the hospital and has since been upgraded to stable condition.
Zimmerman was denied bond and placed in the Allegheny County Jail.
He will have a preliminary hearing next week.
