McKEES ROCKS, Pa. (KDKA) -- A man has died and at least three others were injured after a shooting in McKees Rocks on Saturday.

Allegheny County dispatchers say police and medics were called to the area of Meyers Street and Ridge Way just after 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

At least three people, including a man and a woman, were shot during the incident, according to police at the scene. The injured woman remains in critical condition, according to a media release from Allegheny County police.

The deceased victim was later identified as 37-year-old Shaylon Williams.

A third victim was shot in the hand and treated at the scene. A fourth victim who suffered a gunshot wound to the chest arrived at a local hospital and is currently in stable condition, county police added.

Two neighbors who spoke with KDKA-TV's Ricky Sayer offered differing recollections of the incident, with one saying they heard four gunshots, while another said they heard 35 shots fired.

Officials are looking for at least two individuals who they believe were shooting at each other.

"We were waiting for the crime scene [investigators] to arrive, they're going to help us start processing, collecting, evidence detectors go up, interviewing, reviewing any video within this complex that might be helpful," said Lieutenant Venerando Costa.

The scene itself was very emotional. At times there was yelling, and others were crying.

"When you have a large group of people, when you have bulk people that are shot, that probably each group knows, you're going to have conflict, arguments, yelling back and forth," Lieutenant Costa added.

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