3 people shot in Turtle Creek

TURTLE CREEK, Pa. — Three people were shot in Turtle Creek on Tuesday night.

Officers were called to a shooting near the intersection of Albert and Maple streets at 8:52 p.m.

First responders found two men and one teenage boy, who were all shot. They all fled to nearby locations, including a 7-Eleven.

Medics treated all three victims and transported them to local hospitals in stable condition.

Allegheny County Police said preliminary information shows the victims got into an argument on the street with another person, when that person pulled out a gun and began shooting.

There’s no word on any suspects.

Neighbors said they heard multiple gunshots before emergency crews arrived.

“I heard three to four shots, and then several minutes later I heard a lot of sirens,” one resident said.

Some neighbors said they are increasingly concerned about violence in the community.

“It’s been happening close to home, more frequently.”

Kenya Epps, who lives nearby, said she was upset but not surprised to hear a juvenile was involved.

“It’s terrible,” Epps said. “The kids are terrible around here. My five- and eight-year-old were jumped by teenage girls two weeks ago. Little boys walk around with their masks and guns. It’s terrible.”

Another resident, John Garibay, said parents need to play a larger role in preventing violence among.

“I just feel like parents need to be involved more, to see what’s going on in the kids’ lives that makes them do that decision,” Garibay said.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the County Police Tip Line 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
