WILKINSBURG, Pa. (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania on Tuesday were seeking a suspect in the fatal shooting of a man who was gunned down while walking with a 5-year-old relative.
Kevin Hall, 23, of Pittsburgh, saved the child when he pulled the boy out of the way of the gunfire Monday afternoon, Allegheny County police said.

The victim was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Two good Samaritans assisted the child, who sustained an injury when the victim yanked him out of the line of fire.
Police said the suspect was wearing a brown beanie hat and had short dreadlocks.
