Man charged after domestic incident in McKees Rocks that left woman, bystander injured, police say

MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. — Two people, including a person driving by, were shot in McKees Rocks Wednesday afternoon in what started as a domestic incident.

The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. in the area of Lake Street, Thompson Avenue and Stanhope Street.

The incident began as what police say was a “violent domestic” inside a home between a man, identified as Gene Brown, 28, and a woman, who police say is in her 20s. The woman was able to get a gun and shot Brown in the stomach inside the home.

Brown got the gun away from the woman and allegedly began pistol-whipping her.

Police say the argument spilled outside, where Brown fired a shot that hit a man driving by.

After being shot, the man drove to Stanhope Street where he flagged down a deputy for help and was taken to a local hospital.

Brown is facing charges in connection to the shooting. Allegheny County police said Brown is facing multiple charges, including attempted homicide and aggravated assault.

Prior to Wednesday’s shooting, Brown had multiple felony warrants for his arrest, according to police.
