1 person shot in Pittsburgh-area community; lockdowns lifted in New Kensington-Arnold School District
ARNOLD, Pa. (KDKA) -- One person was shot Monday afternoon in Arnold.
Police said one victim showed up at a local hospital after being shot. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening, officials said.
The New Kensington-Arnold School District was placed on lockdown because of the incident. The lockdown was lifted at around 2 p.m.
Police tape secured Leishman and Woodmont avenues and the surrounding areas in Arnold while investigators searched for clues. Evidence markers were seen scattered about in the alley behind Woodmont Avenue.
Police said no one is in custody at this time, and there is no danger to the community. They believe it was an isolated incident.
"I heard a couple shots coming from up the way. I was confused, maybe fireworks, that's when the chief of police of Arnold stopped us and asked if we saw anybody, that there was an active shooter running through the streets," witness Blake Veri said.
Officers, including ATF and a K-9, were seen combing the area while residents gathered anxiously waiting to hear what happened.
