Police have one suspect in custody and are looking for a second after two people were injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon in Conway. The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. inside a home in the 1300 block of Fourth Avenue. According to police, one of the victims was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital in critical condition. He was shot in the head. A second person had a finger injury. It’s unclear if that person was shot. That victim was taken to a local hospital by ambulance and has since been released and was interviewed by police last night. The suspect that was taken into custody was arrested at the nearby Conrail Yard. Officials say the shooting appears to be drug-related.
