Man Says He Was Shot for Spitting on Sidewalk: Police

Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say an argument over spitting led to a man being shot in both legs.

The victim was listed in stable condition Sunday morning as Allentown police searched for the gunman.

Police say the 25-year-old victim reported spitting on the sidewalk Saturday evening. They say a man walking nearby took offense, and argument began.

The victim told police he apologized, but said the suspect shot him anyway and then fled.
