A McKees Rocks man died in an area hospital after being shot Wednesday morning in Duquesne, according to authorities.
Tyree Young, 30, died in the emergency room shortly after 9 a.m., the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office reported.
Allegheny County Housing Authority police responded to a call shortly after 8:15 a.m. reporting “a disturbance with injuries” at a home in the Orchard Park housing complex, said county police Inspector Mike Peairs.
First responders arrived to find Young had been shot in the torso and a woman in her 20s suffered facial injuries, Peairs said.
Both were armed with pistols, he said, and the woman had a concealed carry permit for her gun.
Investigators said the woman, who remained at the scene, was assaulted by the man, later identified as Young. Peairs said she is cooperating with the investigation, and it will be up to the District Attorney’s Office as to whether charges are filed.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS (1-833-255-8477).
