LACKAWAXEN, PA — A Pike County man has been arrested and jailed after police say he fired a pistol into a vehicle that was occupied and caused an injury.

Shawn Vannatta, 18, of Honesdale, was charged with attempted homicide in the wake of the incident, which according to a press release from the Pennsylvania State Police took place in a parking lot on State Route 590 late in the evening of February 27.

Police say Vanatta had a confrontation with a 16-year-old male and afterward he fired three shots into a vehicle occupied by the male and by 55-year-old Joseph DeAngelo. One or more of the shots, which came from a semi-automatic pistol, shattered the rear window of the car and “one projectile” hit DeAngelo on the back.

According to court documents Vannatta’s grandmother gave him the gun used in the shooting.

Vannatta was arrested in Honesdale at his home, and then arraigned and incarcerated at the Pike County Correctional Facility.
