McKEESPORT, Pa. --

Police have arrested one man in connection with a shooting that left another man in critical condition on Wednesday.

Investigators said the incident began with a hit-and-run in front of a bar in Homestead called Ragtime.

Investigators said the owner of the car, Winston Harshaw, 36, of Munhall, saw the other car leaving the area after the crash, called 911 and began chasing the driver.

Police said Harshaw followed the driver of the other car into McKeesport where he was shot several times while on the phone with 911 dispatchers.

Officers said Harshaw then drove himself to a fire station for help. Firefighters said he parked his car in front of the station and beeped his horn to get the firefighters' attention.

Harshaw was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital and is listed in critical condition, according to investigators.
