A man was found shot in the leg at a Lehigh County hotel before dawn Friday, and Pennsylvania State Police still don't know who pulled the trigger. Troopers located the unidentified man at the Days Hotel on Airport Road in Hanover Township at 1:24 a.m., and he's now being treated at a hospital while investigators work to piece together what happened.
According to lehighvalleylive.com, Pennsylvania State Police are looking for information about the man, who was found at the Days Hotel at 3400 Airport Road in Hanover Township. The outlet reports that it's unclear from the police news release who shot the man, and no details were offered about what led up to the shooting or the circumstances surrounding it.
Hospital Treatment, Few Details Released
Police said the man is being treated at a hospital, but the release gave no indication of his identity, his age, or the severity of his injury beyond the fact that he was shot in the leg. The same report notes that no suspect information has been made public, leaving the shooting itself largely a mystery for now.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the state police criminal investigation unit at 610-861-2026 and reference incident number PA2026-1376305.
Not the First Time Police Have Been Called to a Hanover Township Hotel
Hanover Township hotels have drawn state police attention before. Back in January 2008, troopers were called to the Scottish Inn in Hanover Township after two men were found in a hotel room with two 16-year-old girls, according to mcall.com. State police at Bethlehem said that encounter was discovered at about 12:20 a.m. on a Wednesday, and the two men ultimately faced charges of corruption of a minor.
That case, nearly two decades old, is a separate matter with no known connection to Friday's shooting. For now, the investigation into the man found wounded at the Days Hotel remains open, with state police relying on the public to help fill in what the initial report left unanswered.
