PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A juvenile was shot multiple times in Penn Hills on Monday.

Allegheny County police said officials learned of a shooting on Sampson Street around 5:30 p.m. First responders found the juvenile male, who was shot multiple times. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, officials said. 

A source said the juvenile was shot in the face and several times in the chest. Several neighbors told KDKA-TV they heard six to seven shots and screams for help. 

"He was hollering, 'I've been shot can someone please help me,'" one neighbor said. "So we tried to render whatever assistance we could on the phone, but someone else had already done that. It's just terrible that it's happening."

It is not clear if there are any suspects or arrests. Police are investigating.
