Pittsburgh police arrested a 16-year-old boy after another boy was found with a gunshot wound to each leg in Hazelwood on Friday afternoon, police said.

Adedjai Edwards of McKees Rocks is charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a minor and carrying a firearm without a license.

Police found the victim, who they described as “a juvenile male,” just before 5 p.m. Friday in the 5000 block of Chaplain Way. Officers applied tourniquets to stem the bleeding until EMS arrived, and the boy was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Edwards was arraigned Saturday and sent to the Allegheny County Jail on $100,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 21, according to court records.

Pittsburgh’s Violent Crime Unit detectives are investigating.
