Allegheny County detectives said early Tuesday that an intruder in a late-night Wilkinsburg home invasion was shot to death by an accomplice.
At around 10:48 p.m. Monday, Wilkinsburg police were dispatched to the 1600 block of Penn Avenue for a reported home invasion in progress.
Police said five residents in the house — three men and two women — told them that two armed men had stopped one of the women outside at gunpoint and then forced their way into the residence.
Once inside, the intruders were confronted by two of the male residents, who were armed. One of the intruders began shooting at the residents as he fled out the front door, police said. The second intruder fled out the rear door.
Police said officers searched the area surrounding the home and discovered the body of a 29-year-old man who was wearing a ski mask on Superior Street near Penn Avenue.
Detectives from the county homicide unit called to the scene to investigate learned that the two armed residents did not return fire. Detectives said it appears the 29-year-old man was struck by gunfire from his accomplice.
The other suspect was not apprehended.
Police continue to investigate and ask that anyone with information about the incident call the county police tipline at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.

My wife’s family was from there. I chide her about that frequently as I know what an s hole that has become. They departed in the early 60s because it was slipping then. Her dad was a TBF pilot in WW2 and knew how to take care of business yet knew when to fold them.
*snort!*
Always be aware of what is behind your target.
“Apparently Wilkinsburg is predominately Amish.”
Trust me, that is correct.

Arrest him and give him a medal.
I once owned valuable property in Wilkinsburg, sold it for a YUGE profit back in the 80s.
Today that whole block looks like Kenosha, WI.
I signed up for the Census, passed all the tests, fingerprints, etc and went for training.
They assigned me to Wilkinsburg and I axed if I could get a different area.
They said, if you live for 4 weeks, you can request a different area.
I resigned that day.
Anyone from Western PA doesn't even want to drive through Wilkinsburg {it used to be called the City of Churches} because of the many beautiful Churches {and not a single bar}.
Today, most of the Churches are in severe decline if not total ruin and more than half the city is in decay.
If my father were alive today, he would just look at it and cry.
A couple of miles from where Biden was speaking yesterday.
My father-in-law grew up in Johnstown. His father was the local EUB minister.
