A Lower Allen Township resident shot someone with a BB gun while fighting with at least seven people, Lower Allen Township police said.

The resident was confronted by at least seven others just before 11 last night while leaving an apartment in the first block of Hummel Avenue, police said. Police said the resident had exchanged text messages, some of them involving threats, with several individuals involved.

Police said a man and a woman lived in the apartment, but they didn't say which did the shooting and didn't identify them. One resident shot someone in the shoulder after being pulled down steps, police said, and another resident hit at least two of the attackers with a baseball bat.

The group dispersed when the shooting began, police said. Nobody appeared to be seriously injured, police said.

Nobody was arrested at the scene, but charges are pending the completion of the investigation, police said. Anybody with information can call Lower Allen Township police at 717-238-9676.
