Senate candidate John Fetterman addresses pulling gun on Black jogger in 2013
Fetterman maintained he initially had no idea of the race or gender of the jogger he stopped after reportedly hearing gunshots.

That man, Christopher Miyares, ended up just being a 28-year-old area resident who was simply jogging, reportedly wearing all-black running clothes at the time, with headphones atop his ears.
