Arnold, Pa, man charged in shooting 3 at baby shower for his unborn child

An Arnold man at a baby shower for his expected child is accused of shooting three people with a .9 mm handgun Saturday night
during an argument over whether he would transport gifts, authorities said. The suspect, Isiah J. Hampton, 25, of Victoria Avenue, Arnold, was arrested as the fire hall and was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of recklessly endangering another person. Hampton was arraigned Sunday morning and remains in Westmoreland County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bond.

Police found the suspect within minutes and he surrendered without incident, Lower Burrell Police Chief John Marhefka said. He had left the fire hall with the mother of his unborn child, police said.

The victims are a 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy, he said. One victim was shot in his torso, a woman was shot in her leg and the boy had been shot in the buttocks, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case against Hampton. None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.

Police said the shooting occurred after Hampton got into an argument with a woman who wanted him to transport the gifts from the baby shower, according to the criminal complaint. Hampton allegedly became abusive toward the woman and she slapped his face, prompting the suspect to shove her backwards. Three men intervened to stop Hampton, who had fallen to the ground, when he allegedly pulled his gun and shot one man in the torso and then the teenager. Police said that a woman, not the one Hampton was arguing with, was grazed in her leg by a bullet.
