TURTLE CREEK (KDKA) -- One person was shot in Turtle Creek on Sunday afternoon.

It happened around 4:10 p.m. at a home in the 500 block of Larimer Avenue.

Officers and paramedics were sent to the scene for a report of shots fired.

"I was sitting on the porch and then the car came home and they went in the house and I heard three gunshots and nothing after that," neighbor Bob Lawrence said.

When first responders arrived on the scene, they found a male who had been shot in the back. He was transported to a local hospital.

Police say the victim is expected to survive.

It appears that police talked to three teenagers who were in the home at the time of the shooting, but there's no indication that anyone has been charged or exactly how the shooting took place.

Police were called to the same block of Larimer Avenue back in September for a shooting.

Allegheny County Homicide was called to assist in the investigation.
