Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County-- Police in Wilkes-Barre are looking for the man who fired shots inside the Interfaith apartment complex on Coal Street late Tuesday night.
A woman who lives there says her cousin was visiting -- and he got into a fight with another man known only as "B."
She says her cousin shot the man with a pellet gun -- and he returned later with a handgun.
She says that man kicked in her apartment door and fired three shots.
She jumped out of her third-story window with her son.
They're being treated at a nearby hospital. Their conditions are unknown at this point.
Police returned to the apartment Wednesday morning and took into custody a man they would only call a "person of interest."
He's now being questioned by investigators.
Anyone with further information is asked to call Wilkes-Barre police at 570-826-8106.
