Two people were killed in a shooting early Monday morning in McKeesport, and one man is being questioned about the deaths, according to WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Ari hait.

Police officers were called to a house on Scott Street just before 2 a.m. Witnesses reported hearing more than a dozen shots fired.

The Allegheny County medical examiner identified the victims as 23-year-old Dominique Cochran and 34-year-old James Robertson, both of McKeesport.

About 45 minutes after the shooting, police started chasing a car that was believed to be connected to the incident. The car crashed into a railroad crossing gate off Washington Boulevard in Dravosburg.

The driver, 23-year-old Leroy Harris, was arrested on charges unrelated to the shooting deaths, police said.

Harris was being questioned about the shootings but no charges had been filed as of 6 p.m.
