PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Allegheny County Police are investigating an overnight rollover crash and shots fired in McKees Rocks.

Several police departments responded to the scene just before 1:30 a.m. Officers said when they arrived, one man was at the crash site, but he was not hurt.

Neighbors KDKA spoke to said it all started down the road outside of Michael's Lounge.

Police placed about 20 evidence markers on the ground and inspected a nearby SUV riddled with bullet holes.

"McKees Rocks - it's getting to be terrible. Real bad," said Townes. "It used to be alright. Now, it's getting to be an everyday thing."

Townes hopes people are held responsible, so residents feel protected and sleep better at night.

"The world is crazy, so you're not safe any place really," said Townes. "You have to take a chance and say a prayer and try to go to bed and that's the best thing you can do."

No injuries have been reported, according to police.

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