MONROEVILLE, Pa. — As families were wrapping up dinner inside of the Monroeville Olive Garden, a 19-year-old employee was shot in the leg outside in the parking lot.
It happened around 9:30 p.m. Saturday night when the restaurant was still open with customers inside.
Many customers can’t believe this family restaurant turned into a crime scene.
“it could have even penetrated the restaurant and hit somebody inside. You just shouldn’t do that,” said customer Michaelene Tomina.
The restaurant is located in a busy area near hotels, a shopping plaza, other restaurants and the Monroeville Mall.
Police said the victim was rushed to the hospital and has since been released. They believe the victim got in a fight with someone else before being shot.
We reached out to Olive Garden for comment, but the restaurant declined to share a statement and referred us to the police department.
Monroeville police are following leads and are still investigating the shooting.
No arrests have been made.
