A 20-year-old man was shot multiple times early on Sunday, November 15, in the City of Washington, Pennsylvania, and was taken first to UPMC Washington and then transferred to a Pittsburgh-area hospital for further treatment, City of Washington police said. His condition had not been released as of Sunday morning, according to CBS News Pittsburgh.

Police said they were called just before 1 a.m. on Sunday to the 100 block of Hall Avenue after a caller reported hearing multiple gunshots. Police believe the shooting itself took place between 12:30 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. on November 15.

While officers were responding, they were flagged down at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and West Beau Street by the 20-year-old man, who told them he had been shot multiple times. That is where officers first made contact with the victim, away from the Hall Avenue scene itself.

Bullets hit a home and a parked pickup truck

Officers found shell casings along Hall Avenue and confirmed that a residence and a parked pickup truck had been struck by gunfire. WTAE reported that no injuries were reported by anyone inside the residence — the people in the home were not hurt. Washington County 911 officials told WPXI that the shooting happened in an alley along Hall Avenue.

Who responded, and who is investigating

Detectives were called to the scene and the investigation remains ongoing, police said. Pennsylvania State Police, South Strabane Township Police and East Washington Borough Police assisted in the response, CBS News Pittsburgh reported. The lead investigation rests with the City of Washington Police Department.

What is not yet known

Police have not publicly identified a suspect, announced any arrests, or released a motive. The victim's name has not been released, and his condition had not been released as of Sunday morning. No one has been charged in connection with the shooting in any report available on Sunday afternoon, and investigators have not said whether they believe the shooting was targeted or random.

Washington is a city in Washington County in southwestern Pennsylvania, within reach of Pittsburgh-area hospitals — which is why a transfer for further treatment, as police described in this case, follows the pattern of serious gunshot cases in the county being moved to a larger trauma centre. For Hall Avenue and Shrub Avenue residents, the immediate impact is practical: an occupied home and a parked vehicle were hit by gunfire in the middle of the night, and the evidence police say will matter most — private surveillance and doorbell video from a 45-minute overnight window — sits in neighbours' hands.

What happens next: detectives will review whatever surveillance, doorbell and dashcam footage residents hand over from that 12:30 to 1:15 a.m. window, alongside the shell casings recovered on Hall Avenue. Any update on the man's condition, or any identification of a suspect, will come from the City of Washington police. Until then, the department's public appeal for video remains the active step in the case.
