Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli says Brydon Williams-Chambers and John Booker pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, and carrying firearms without a license for a December 2024 shooting inside Anthony's bar in Vandergrift. Common Pleas Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio sentenced Williams-Chambers to four to 10 years in prison followed by one year of probation; Booker is expected to be sentenced within 90 days. Both men and a third man who was the intended target were struck by gunfire during an argument, and ADA Jim Lazar prosecuted the case for the Commonwealth.
