The gunfire was first reported late Thursday morning.

When officers first arrived at the scene, they found shell casings, but no victim, on Bouquet Street. Soon after, a man showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Witnesses told officers they saw a red SUV speeding away from the area at the time of the shooting. And police say the victim arrived at the hospital in a red Dodge Durango SUV.

McKees Rocks Councilman Joe Mixter was also hurt during the shooting.

Bullets flew through his walls, and he was hit with flying debris. His sister found one of the bullets behind the toilet.
