ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Police in Allentown are investigating the second shooting in less than a week. It happened Tuesday around 7 p.m. in the area of West Turner and North 19th streets, near Muhlenberg College.

Allentown police say four people were shot. Their conditions are not known.

Muhlenberg campus safety and police report that students were told to shelter in place for a brief time, and campus police increased patrols.

Police detained a man after the shooting, placing him in the back of a cruiser.
