CANONSBURG, Pa. — Two men were shot in a residential area in Canonsburg late Thursday night before driving to a gas station for help, police said.
Officers were called shortly before 11 p.m. to the Gas N Go gas station on Euclid Avenue, where the victims of the double shooting showed up, according to authorities.
Investigators determined that the men had been shot while in a car along Franklin Avenue, which is a residential part of Canonsburg.
After making their way to the gas station, the men were offered help by someone who was there.
“I believe there was a medic, possibly a nurse, who tried to give first aid until first responders got on scene,” Canonsburg Police Chief Alexander Coghill said.
Both men were taken to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. One has since been treated and released.
