Monessen Police are investigating a shooting that took place in the city Tuesday night.

Police Chief David Yuhasz said the victim is a 19-year old man, who as of Wednesday morning was in stable condition at a Pittsburgh hospital.

Police first received a report of shots fired in the 600 block of 14th Street shortly before 7 p.m. The responding officers didn’t find anyone, but just a few minutes later received another call about a gunshot victim at a residence on Reed Avenue, Yuhasz said.

“We recovered multiple shell casings,” he said. “There were a couple of different caliber of shell casings. It looks like there were multiple shooters. A vehicle or two got hit by a bullet and a house got hit by a bullet.”

Mon Valley Emergency Medical Services also responded. A landing zone was set up at the boat launch in the city and the victim was airlifted to a trauma center in Pittsburgh.

No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

“It’s still under investigation,” Yuhasz said. “We’re pulling the camera footage from the area.”
