MCKEESPORT (AP) – Police in Western Pennsylvania say a teenage youth was killed and a teenage girl injured in an early morning shooting near Pittsburgh.
Officials in McKeesport said police were called to a home at 4:10 a.m. Saturday and found both teenagers with gunshot wounds.
Police said the 17-year-old male was pronounced dead at the scene. The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition with wounds not considered life-threatening.
Police said they believe the male was the intended target, and the motive was unclear but the shooting may have been retaliation for a previous shooting.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call McKeesport police or Allegheny County detectives.
