HARRISBURG, Pa. — Police have identified a suspect allegedly responsible for a Harrisburg shooting that injured three.
Officers say they used surveillance footage from Cranberry Street to identify Jerry Foster as the suspect.
According to detectives, the footage shows a dark BMW sedan turn the wrong way down Cranberry Street—which is a one-way road—from North 2nd Street. The driver, Foster, and the passenger stopped to talk to a group of people standing on Cranberry Street before continuing to drive the wrong way down the road, police said.
Surveillance cameras then allegedly show Foster putting his head out of the window, holding a firearm before firing several shots at the group, officials said.
Police say they were able to extract still images of Foster's face from additional surveillance video, which they then distributed to other law enforcement departments in the area. Foster's parole officer was able to identify him as the person in the surveillance images, detectives said. Police also allegedly confirmed that the suspect owns a BMW sedan.
Foster is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a 2004 conviction for criminal attempt criminal homicide, according to police.
He has been charged with four counts of criminal attempted homicide, four counts of aggravated assault, one count of possession of a prohibited firearm and one count of firearms not to be carried without a license.
