Man dead after reports he shot mother
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police say they arrived at a home to find a man shot to death on his porch moments after the man called 911 to report that he had shot his mother.
Police have not released the names of either person, but say it appears the man fatally shot himself. The man reported shooting his mother five times, but she was alive and taken to a hospital where her condition was not immediately available this morning.
Police say the incident began about 12:35 a.m. today when the man called 911.
A dispatcher stayed on the line even after the man stopped speaking, after claiming he shot his mother, and heard at least one other gunshot. Police believe that’s when the man shot himself.
