McKeesport triple shooting prompts heavy police presence

MCKEESPORT, Pa. (KDKA) — Three people were shot Tuesday afternoon in McKeesport. 

A detective with the McKeesport Police Department confirmed to KDKA's Shelley Bortz on the scene that three were shot on Pirl Street in McKeesport just before 2 pm.

KDKA-TV talked to the woman who called 911 after hearing a barrage of gunfire from inside her apartment building. She said she has lived here for 20 years and has never been so scared.

"I know McKeesport has a lot of problems, but never anything this bad," Colleen Morgan said. "It's too close to home."

The three victims are said to have non-life-threatening injuries. It is not clear if there are any suspects.
