A man was grazed by a bullet during a drive-by shooting early Tuesday morning in Pittsburgh’s Manchester neighborhood, police said.

Officer’s from the city’s Zone 1 station responded to a “Shotspotter” gunshot-detection notification shortly after 1 a.m. for multiple rounds fired in the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to a Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman.

After arriving on scene, a call was received by Allegheny County 911 for a possible shooting victim in the area.

Officers located a man near the intersection of Decatur and Fulton streets suffering from a gunshot wound to the right arm.

The victim told police he was hit after multiple shots were fired from a moving vehicle but he was unable to provide investigators with a description of vehicle.

The man, whose identity was not released, was transported to a hospital in stable condition for treatment.

Evidence was gathered at the scene by the city’s Mobile Crime Unit. The incident remains under investigation, police said.
