WILKINSBURG, Pa. (KDKA) — One person was injured after a shooting in Wilkinsburg, authorities said. 

County police said officials were notified of a shooting Tuesday in the 500 block of Franklin Avenue around 3 p.m. First responders found a man shot multiple times in the torso. 

He was taken to a local hospital. 

Sources said the victim was staying at a halfway house. He then went outside to Franklin Avenue, where he was shot multiple times after a car pulled up, sources said.

Two neighbors told KDKA-TV that they heard multiple gunshots. 

"Very surreal, we did see the victim lying there," said Rev. Eric McIntosh, the Wilkinsburg police chaplain and of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. "He was alive and moving at the time."
