ALIQUIPPA, Pa. — A man was flown to a hospital after he was shot Thursday night in Aliquippa.
Milton Wesley, 23, was found shot just before 9 p.m. on Highland Avenue, police said.
Aliquippa resident Delcine Pugh opened up her home to Wesley when he collapsed nearby.
"I was laying on my bed watching TV," she said. "And I heard my daughter and my granddaughter come through the door and they were screaming, and when I hear that coming out from my children, I move."

She waited with him until police and paramedics arrived. She said her maternal instincts kicked in.
“He was young, and he was somebody’s child, and then I found out he was only 23 years old and I didn’t leave,” Pugh said.
Wesley was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital for treatment. His condition has not been released.
Investigators spent at least seven hours at the scene.
No arrests have been made.
