Shooting Victim In Critical Condition Following Crash Outside McKees Rocks Police Station
MCKEES ROCKS (KDKA) -- McKees Rocks Police didn't have to travel far to get to the scene of a crash late Tuesday night.
Just steps away from the front door of their police station, a vehicle slammed into a utility pole.
Police checked out the driver behind the wheel of the silver Ford Taurus. That's where they found a 23-year-old man shot multiple times in the chest and stomach.
KDKA spoke to a woman who heard the gunfire and wanted to remain anonymous.
"Like six shots. It's coming up the street," she said.
That street, according to Allegheny County Police, turned out to be Mary Street. They say the man, who is in critical condition at a local hospital, was shot there while traveling towards Chartiers Avenue.
It wasn't long after that when McKees Rocks Police say they heard a loud crash around 11:30 p.m. outside of their department. It was along the intersection of Bell and Linden Avenues where the driver hit a utility pole.
Our cameras captured two bullet holes in the door on the driver's side of the vehicle and one in the back door window.
"All this stuff going on they want to kill and it's not right. It's just not right, it's not," the woman said.
At this time, county police have not released details on the shooter or what led up to the incident.
Allegheny County Police Department's Homicide Unit is assisting McKees Rock Police in the investigation.
County police are asking anyone with information to call their Tip Line at 1-833-255-8477.
