KDKA's overnight unit at the scene witnessed numerous shell casings on the ground along with an SUV that had its passenger windows shot out and a bullet hole through the front windshield.

The Pennsylvania State Police forensics team was at the scene assisting Canonsburg Police, who are leading the investigation into what led up to the shooting. Detectives from Washington County are also assisting in the investigation. 

Chief Coghill said it was too early to tell whether there was any connection between this shooting and other reports of shots fired in Canonsburg earlier this week.
