DUQUESNE (KDKA) -- A man was shot multiple times in Duquesne on Saturday afternoon.
Over 30 shell casings were counted near the crime scene in Duquesne. A 22-year-old man was found on a porch in the 600-block of Viola Avenue shot multiple times. Police say he had at least four bullet wounds -- two in the chest, one in the neck and one in the leg. But before police discovered the victim...
"I heard some fireworks going off and gunshots together and I thought it was unusual and I looked over and this black car was starting to get away. Someone was running into the passenger side," a witness said.
This witness, a woman who lives nearby, didn't want to be identified, but she says she saw it all unfold around 1 p.m. Saturday.
Police say the man was leaving his house on Auriles Street when he was shot. His 4-year-old son was with him.
"I know he was crying pretty hard and yelling he was scared, he was scared. I know it was probably really traumatic for him," the witness said.
The witness said she saw the victim jump a fence and run down an alley ending up on the porch. Another neighbor came by and took the child to safety.
"I seen two in the car. I don't know if someone was in the back," the witness said.
Police said the car was black, and there were two people shooting from it.
"It just happens so much it's a shame," the witness said. "Things have gotten worse. I guess all over the place things have gotten worse. Kids have no value for life anymore."
The child was not injured in this shooting.
