WILKES-BARRE -- Police continue their investigation into a possible
shooting early Thursday morning outside a South Main Street bar. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Blood and shell casings were all that remained outside Gordy's Cuckoo's
Nest when police responded to a call of shots fired around 1 a.m. Thursday. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Parrish Street resident called police after being awakened by the sounds
of gunshots outside the bar. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Police also were told by a passing motorist that shots had been fired
outside the bar. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 When the officers arrived at the scene, they found no one in front of the
bar, police said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Investigators found numerous shell casings at the scene along with some
blood, leading police to speculate that someone may have been wounded. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Police could not determine if the blood was from a human or an animal. And
they were unable to locate a shooting victim at any area emergency room. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Calls to area hospitals Friday indicated that no one was treated for a
gunshot wound in any of the emergency rooms over the past two days. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 After interviewing witnesses, police drew up this possible scenario: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 There was a dispute between an undetermined number of people, who afterward
sped away in two vehicles -- a pickup truck and a van. Police did not know if
they were bar patrons or passers-by. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Someone fired shots from a shotgun and fled the scene in an older-model
pickup truck. Someone else fired and fled in a brown-and-white van. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 No detailed descriptions of the people or vehicles involved were available
from police. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Serious injury avoided in 3-vehicle crash &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 WILKES-BARRE -- No one was seriously injured in a three-vehicle accident
Thursday morning on East Union Street, police said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 John Krasnahill of Wilkes-Barre was driving west on East Union Street when
his car was hit by Robert B. Greene's vehicle, which was pulling onto the
street from a parking alley, police said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Greene, of Wilkes-Barre, said he did not see Krasnahill because several
cars were parked illegally on East Union Street. Upon impact, Krasnahill's car
was pushed into another car owned by Timothy Westawski of Plains Township,
police said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Westawski's car was illegally parked on Union Street, police report. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A passenger in Krasnahill's car, Bernice Krasnahill of Wilkes-Barre, was
slightly injured. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Krasnahills were wearing their seat belts when the accident occurred,
police said. Greene was not wearing his seat belt. No other information was
available. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Friday afternoon injured one driver. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Colleen M. Connolly, 27, of Pittston, was treated at Nesbitt Memorial
Hospital in Kingston. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 State police reported Connolly was traveling north on the highway around
2:05 p.m. when she collided with a vehicle driven by William J. Krywicki, 43,
of Shavertown. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 According to police, Krywicki was also traveling north when he lost control
while trying to get on to the Exit 3 off ramp. His vehicle spun into the path
of Connolly's vehicle. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Krywicki was not injured. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Local man charged with exposing himself &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 WILKES-BARRE -- A Wilkes-Barre man faces charges for allegedly exposing

 Daryl Michael LaMooney, 25, of Hutson Street, was held for lack of $20,000
bail in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 City police reported the girl said she was walking in the area of Moyallen
and South Hancock streets Thursday afternoon when a man in a parked car
exposed himself to her. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Based on the description of the car, police located LaMooney near his

 LaMooney was arraigned before District Justice Joseph Halesey in Hanover
Township and charged with indecent exposure and open lewdness and committed to
