Police believe an argument led to a shooting at a Penn Hills house that left a mother and son dead early this morning.
Angela Proctor, 51, and her son, Manning, 22, were killed when at least one gunman burst into their apartment on Westwood Road at about 1 a.m. and opened fire.
A 19-year-old friend of Mr. Proctor’s, who stayed with him and his mother, was wounded.
County homicide detectives believe an argument between Mr. Proctor’s friend and visitors in another part of the rundown house preceded the shooting and that it appears the friend was the target. Police aren’t releasing his name and said they aren’t certain what the argument was about.
It wasn’t clear who was inside the ramshackle house when the shooting occurred, although neighbors said people came and went often.
Ms. Proctor had rented the home for the last 10 years or so and went to work every day at the University of Pittsburgh, said relatives who stopped by this afternoon but would not identify themselves. Manning Proctor was a college student, they said.
Ms. Proctor was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Proctor died shortly after 3 a.m. at UPMC Presbyterian.
