Man killed in late-night shooting outside of Penn Hills bar

A man was killed in a late-night shooting outside of a bar in Penn Hills on Thursday night.

The Allegheny County Police Department said the shooting happened just before 11 p.m. outside of H's Bar & Grill along Verona Road on Thursday. When first responders arrived at the scene, they found a man who had been shot to death. The man's identity has not been released as of Friday night.

"We don't have all the details. It's tragic," Penn Hills Mayor Pauline Calabrese told KDKA-TV. "Of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."

The early investigation, according to police, shows that the man was talking to the alleged shooter outside the bar before shots were fired. Investigators say the gunman was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts and fled from the scene.

A man who didn't want to be identified and lives nearby said he's not surprised a deadly shooting happened at this establishment.

"Any time from midnight to about 3 a.m. they're out here making all kinds of noise," the man told KDKA-TV. "I'm sick of it."

However, that neighbor KDKA-TV spoke to said H's Bar and Grill isn't the only problem bar nearby, adding that he wants one thing to come out of this tragedy.

"Close them both now," he said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
