SOMERSET TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Somerset Township father continues to express concerns about target shooting on property near a park. Jared Ritenour says he has called police after hearing what he called hours of gunfire in the woods by his home and next to a playground, ball field, walking track and basketball courts. He tells WPXI “It was like a war zone, and that’s when I called the police,” Ritenour said. “My goodness, it sounded like the beginning of Saving Private Ryan — pow, pow, pow, pow, pow.” Ritenour has been raising concerns on social media and at township meetings, saying the target shooting near the park is dangerous. He says he was laughed at during one of those meetings. He says this is not a Second Amendment issue. “I own guns! I own a lot of guns!” he said. “I just don’t shoot them next to a park.” The property owner, Ronnie Fordyce, defended his rights, saying they’ve been target shooting on the land for nearly four years. He says the group shoots into 300 acres of woods, not toward the park, and that they’re following the law. Fordyce pointed out that state law bans hunting near schools or playgrounds but does not prohibit target shooting.
