BETHLEHEM, PA – A shooting incident occurred near the Hills at Lehigh apartments on the evening of December 12. According to Bethlehem Police, the event unfolded around 10:33 PM in the 2100 block of Johnston Drive.

Victims reported being approached by three to four men while at the apartment complex. Fleeing in their vehicle, they were pursued by the suspects in a dark-colored sedan. The confrontation escalated on Millstone Drive near Clifton Avenue, where the suspects fired multiple rounds at the victim’s vehicle before fleeing the scene.

The victim’s vehicle sustained damage from the gunfire. Investigators found multiple shell casings at Millstone Drive and Clifton Avenue, indicating more shots fired than what hit the vehicle. Local residents are urged to check their properties for damage and review video surveillance between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM.


Authorities believe this was a targeted attack, not a random act, and are actively investigating the incident. The Bethlehem Police Department is requesting any information or footage that might assist in the investigation.
