2 Pa. Attorney General's agents, officer shot at in Stowe Township
STOWE TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) - Two agents with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and a McKees Rocks police officer were shot at in Stowe Township on Monday.
Allegheny County police said an agent and officer with the Narcotics Task Force were in an unmarked vehicle following another vehicle when the people inside suddenly stopped, got out and fired shots. Police said the agent and officer returned fire.
Another agent also in an unmarked vehicle was shot at while following the suspect out of the neighborhood, police said.
No one was injured.
Sources confirmed there are three separate scenes under investigation. Dozens of evidence markers can be seen on the ground in the taped-off area near Benwood Avenue.
Another scene is near the Chartiers Avenue Bridge, at the corner of Ridge Avenue and Dohrman Street and there's one on McCoy Road as well.
The Sto-Rox Jr./Sr. High School went into lockdown, but it was lifted around 2:30 p.m. The district said the lockdown was because of an "incident in the community" and not at the school. Police asked the district to hold students while they investigated.
Neighbors told KDKA-TV's Royce Jones that they heard heavy gunfire. One said he heard as many as 40 gunshots, saying there could have been up to a minute of gunfire.
Investigators are now working to identify the suspects. While the vehicle was later recovered in the city's Mt. Washington neighborhood, there have been no arrests.
