PITTSBURGH —
A woman has been arrested after a fight on a Pittsburgh street led to gunfire earlier this month.
According to a criminal complaint, the incident began when Shatika Lowery parked her Jeep in front of a home on Brushton Avenue at 8:25 p.m. on Feb. 10.
Lowery was seen walking to Romeo's Bar and then walking out nearly two and a half hours later. After leaving the bar, Lowery allegedly got into a verbal fight with people in the street while using her phone.
The criminal complaint states she began to walk back to her Jeep but returned to the same group of people to continue the verbal altercation. Officials say Lowery then removed her wig and began physically fighting a woman in the middle of the street.
According to police, the fight was broken up by others in the street, but Lowery walked back to her Jeep, opened the front driver's door and pulled out a gun.
Lowery allegedly fired three rounds at four people who were standing around 15 yards away from her.
One of the bullets hit Romeos while people were still inside the bar. The other two rounds hit the ground near the group of people.
By the time officers arrived, authorities said everyone involved had left.
A day later, Lowery was taken into custody during a traffic stop. According to the criminal complaint, Lowery told police a group of people were fighting with her and her two friends inside the bar. That fight then spilled outside.
According to court documents, Lowery said she fired the gun to scare away the group. Detectives however say the video shows the fight being broken up and Lowery reengaging the conflict.
When a detective informed Lowery the other group was walking away when shots were fired, Lowery allegedly said she knew and apologized.
Lowery is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
