UNIONTOWN, Pa. (KDKA) — A person is dead after a shooting in Uniontown on Tuesday.

The Fayette County district attorney confirmed one person is dead but wouldn't offer more details, saying it's an ongoing investigation. 

State police confirmed the victim is 38-year-old Anthony Jones of Uniontown. State police also said they have a person of interest. He is considered armed and dangerous, police said. 

Crime scene tape surrounded the area on Clark Street on the east side of Uniontown Tuesday. Witnesses said they heard dozens of gunshots just before 11:30 a.m. near Calvary United Methodist Church. The church houses a day care center, but officials said there were no children there at the time of the shooting.

When officers arrived, they found the victim in the street. He was rushed to a local hospital but later died.
