ROBINSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A man died after he was shot in Robinson Township, Washington County, on Monday evening.
A Washington County 911 dispatcher tells Channel 11 that police and medics were sent to Spring Street near Valley Street just before 7 p.m. for reports of a man shot in a yard.
Pennsylvania State Police said the shooting involved two men. Both were taken to the hospital, where one died.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as Eric Cefalo, 50.
We spoke with neighbors who say they’re surprised by the shooting and are curious about what happened.
“We were actually eating dinner and my neighbor over here heard hollers for help and then heard the gunshot and the screams stopped and they called 911,” neighbor Karen Dunks said.
Dunks said it was scary seeing police swarm the area.
“We hurried up and ran into the house and locked in and police showed up and told everyone to lock their doors, stay away from your windows,” she said.
The neighbors are shaken up by the incident and want to know what led up to the shooting.
“It was pretty scary and I don’t want to get emotional but I’m just thankful our neighbors and friends are okay from last night,” Dunks said.
The investigation is ongoing.
