MCKEESPORT, Pa. —

A 35-year-old man was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being shot multiple times in McKeesport.

The shooting happened around 3 a.m. Monday on the 300 block of 25th Street.

Investigators said McKeesport Police received a ShotSpotter notification and when medics arrived they found the man in the street.

Neighbors on the street tell Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 they were shocked to hear several gunshots.

“It was like 3 a.m. Shots went off and everything went crazy,” Ben Bernardi, who lives on 25th st. said.

Allegheny County police said the victim was targeted through a window while inside his home.

“Through investigation we learned he was inside his home on the couch when an individual shot him through the front porch window multiple times,” said Lt. Venerando Costa of Allegheny County police.

As of early Monday morning, no arrests had been announced.

Allegheny County dispatchers say emergency crews were called to the area of the Rachel Carson Bridge at around 2:20 p.m.

Two River Rescue boats responded to the scene. A team of three divers found the man on their fourth attempt.

Eliza Kissel of Millvale and Zane Mosholder of Tarentum were walking along the river when they saw all the first responders and the dive team.

“I didn’t really know what was going on,” Kissel said. “I was just concerned about why there were so many people standing around.”

Mosholder said, “It looked like they were pulling something out of the water. A little bit of concern. I was hoping no one was hurt. Besides that, there were a lot of people on the bridge looking down. A bit odd. We didn’t know what to think of it but was hoping everyone’s okay.”

Unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead at 3:50 p.m.

Adan Market 2 has been the center of three fatal shootings since 2021.

PITTSBURGH —

After three deadly shootings in three years, including one over the past weekend, calls continued Saturday for a Pittsburgh market to close.

Dozens took to the streets in the Allentown neighborhood, sending a message to shut Adan Market 2 down.

“This business continues to be a nuisance problem,” said Pittsburgh Councilperson Bob Charland. “There’s mini-marts up and down the street here. This is the only one that continues to have problems.”

“It’s kind of like clockwork around here. There’s something that happens here, and somebody is killed. It’s either inside the store or outside of the store. It’s always something that starts inside and comes outside, and then things happen out here, and kids are killed,” said Abiding Missions executive director Jordan Shoenberger.

Both community residents and leaders shared the same sentiment over Adan Market 2 on East Warrington Avenue. The market has been the center of three fatal shootings since 2021. It’s unknown why this exact market has been the commonality, but Charland says he has his suspicions.

You can visit the Big Mac Museum — which includes a 14-by-12-foot statue of the sandwich — in North Huntingdon.

The fiberglass burger is a 14-by-12-foot tribute to two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame-seed bun.

The “meal disguised as a sandwich” was created by the late Michael James “Jim” Delligatti, a Pittsburgher who operated more than a dozen Mickey D’s in the area. It debuted in 1967 at the Uniontown location with a price tag of 45 cents and went nationwide the following year.

If the Penguins are going to salvage anything out of a 2023-24 regular season that supplied more aggravation than assurance, virtually all of their remaining games are “must-wins” with regard to their postseason aspirations. It’s been that way for more than a month (and probably a lot longer).

Sunday’s triumph lifted the Penguins’ record to a lukewarm 30-28-9 with 69 points. Hardly reason to start planning any parade routes but the general ineptitude of other contenders for the Eastern Conference’s final wild card seed has done more to keep the Penguins in contention than the Penguins themselves.

The Red Wings are the best of a bad bunch with a 34-28-6 record and 74 points.
