Man Shot During East Hills Home Invasion
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- One person was shot Monday during a home invasion in the East Hills.
Emergency dispatchers confirm it happened around 1 p.m. in the 2000 block of Parkhill Drive, at the Maple Ridge apartments.
"At first it sounded like somebody fell down the steps. It was like when somebody slams a book. That's what it sounded like at first," said witness Asula Collins.
Because he heard arguing earlier, Collins went to investigate and saw his niece's fiancé.
"When I went up the steps he said, 'They shot me,'" he said.
Reports indicate two males broke into the residence, shot a 35-year-old man and then fled.
"The actors fled, they had parked a vehicle behind the complex, they fled in a dark colored SUV," said Assistant Public Information Officer Emily Shaffer.
The victim is being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder at UPMC Presbyterian and is expected to be okay.
The Group Violence Intervention Unit is investigating.
