CLAYMONT, DE — Delaware State Police are investigating a late-night shots fired incident that damaged a gas station but left no reported injuries, according to authorities.
Troopers said they responded at approximately 11:50 p.m. February 18 to the Sunoco at 3615 Philadelphia Pike for a report of gunfire.
According to police, a gray sedan arrived at the gas station and parked near a fuel pump. Investigators allege the driver exited the vehicle and entered the convenience store. A short time later, a second vehicle arrived and parked nearby, and its occupants also entered the store.
