2 injured in separate shootings in Pittsburgh
Two people were injured in separate shootings Monday in Pittsburgh, according to police.
Officers from the city’s North Side station responded to a ShotSpotter notification around 9 p.m. on California Avenue in Brighton Heights, said spokeswoman Amanda Mueller. Some time later, a person showed up at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound.
The person shot was listed in serious condition, but further details about their injuries were not available, Mueller said.
Investigators said the incident might have started as a domestic dispute on the sidewalk before escalating when someone showed up with a gun.
Earlier Monday, police and paramedics were called around 1:35 p.m. to Frayne Street in the city’s Hazelwood neighborhood for a man who had been shot in the calf.
Spokesman Maurice Matthews said an officer applied a tourniquet to the man’s leg before he was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Authorities said there were no descriptions of suspects in either incident.
