Police check security video in Queen Village attack

Police have obtained footage from a home security camera that captured a shooting in Queen Village early Saturday morning and are searching for suspects in an attack that may been retaliation for car break-ins in the neighborhood.

The 36-year-old victim told police he was walking on the 100 block of Carpenter Street around 2:40 a.m. when a woman with a baseball bat and a man with a handgun approached him.

"You know what you did, you son of a [expletive]," the victim said one of the assailants yelled at him.

The woman then struck him with the bat, the victim said.

When he ran, the man with the gun opened fire, the victim told police, striking him once in a leg.

Footage taken from a home security system on the street supported the victim's version of events, a police source said Sunday.

The victim, whose name was not released, does not live in the neighborhood, according to a police report. He was treated at Jefferson University Hospital.

Police have described the shooter as white, bald, about 45 to 50 years old, stocky and, wearing a blue waist-length jacket.
