A man in Pennsylvania thought he was meeting up with a woman he matched with on Tinder but he was instead shot by three men who attempted to steal his car, numerous sources reported.
The unidentified 21-year-old man said he was at the Unity Presbyterian Church on Monday, expecting to meet a girl from Tinder who lived down the road from the church’s parking lot, WPXI reported. Greentree, where the incident took place, is a suburb near downtown Pittsburgh.
