Police are investigating after an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) shot a teen in Aliquippa, the city's mayor said.

Aliquippa Mayor Dwan B. Walker told the Post-Gazette’s news partner KDKA that an ATF agent shot the Aliquippa High School student around 6:20 p.m. Thursday.

Mr. Walker said it’s a “tragic situation and it's fluid.”

The shooting happened on Waugaman Street at the Linmar Terrace housing complex around 6:20 p.m., officials told KDKA.

It was not immediately clear why the ATF was in Aliquippa.


Aliquippa is a blue-collar suburb northwest of Pittsburgh, on the Ohio River.
I think there will be an update on this story, but maybe not tonight.
