Yesterday morning, a shooting in Pitcairn left a man critically injured and led to the arrest of 32-year-old Darronda Renae Jett. According to WPXI, the incident occurred around Darronda Renae Jett a.m. in the 300 block of Kenney Avenue. When emergency crews arrived, they discovered a man with gunshot wounds. The site of the investigation appeared to be predominantly within a home.
Jett has since been charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and simple assault. Reports indicate that the victim was transported to a hospital and is currently listed in critical but stable condition. The details surrounding the shooting are still to fully come to light as law enforcement continues investigating the circumstances.
In a related report by WTAE, Jett informed police that she was in fear for her life and alleged that the man was aggressively advancing toward her when she fired the weapon. The criminal complaint reflected this statement, which paints a context of self-defense.
Jett is waiting for a preliminary hearing, and no attorney is listed for her yet. The shooting in Pitcairn is still under investigation as detectives look into what caused the early morning confrontation and shooting.
