Police: Huntingdon Shooting Sparked By ‘Bath Salt Paranoia’

HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- Authorities in Huntingdon told WJAC-TV that a shooting on Mifflin Street was sparked by paranoia over “bath salts”.

Huntingdon County District Attorney George Zanic said William Ledford and Dustin Scott were charged with aggravated assault and that Jeremiah Shoop was charged with terroristic threats.

According to police, up to 50 shots were fired inside a basement apartment on the 1200 block of Mifflin Street on Wednesday afternoon.

Investigators said Joshua Lemin was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital to be treated for gun shot wounds and is expected to recover.

James Collins told WJAC-TV that the men involved had recently started buying and using bath salts to get high.

“I was on the phone with somebody and we heard shots fired and we left. That was it, we left,” said Collins. “These are all good guys. They’re smart, intelligent, they had a lot of potential, they just made stupid mistakes. Like I said, that stuff has got to come off the market.”

“The people at the scene and the people who have been charged have indicated that there was heavy use of bath salts over the last two days,” said Zanic. “It’s our hope that the legislature will act quick and resolve this and put some teeth into a law that will stop this.”

Mount Nittany Medical Center Emergency Medical Services Director Dr. Kasandra Botti told WJAC-TV that staff members have treated at least one patient high on bath salts every shift in recent weeks.

Charges will likely be filed against Lemin since he also fired a weapon.

Police seized a handgun, shotgun and AK-47 following the shooting.
