CLAIRTON (KDKA) -- Allegheny County homicide detectives have taken over a shooting investigation at Clairton Pool.
A seventeen-year-old lifeguard was shot in the chest by another teen at the Clairton pool.
According to police, the juvenile shooter ran back to his home on School Street only to be apprehended a short time later. Police from multiple departments surrounded the home. They detained a total of six juveniles, including the shooter.
Police later searched the home and found two guns and heroin inside.
The victim was taken to a local hospital and police said he's expected to survive after undergoing surgery. However, they said he's not cooperating with investigators.
An officer on scene said the lifeguard is a good person. They've seen him around town and he's not known to police.
Allegheny County police sent a diver into the pool to look for the shell casing.
