A woman was assaulted Thursday and police found an unidentified man dead in a home in Pittsburgh’s Banksville neighborhood.
Pittsburgh police said they were dispatched around 9:45 a.m. to a home in the 2600 block of Winchester Drive.
Inside, officers found a woman suffering from “significant” injuries such as “facial lacerations,” spokeswoman Cara Cruz said.
First responders took the woman to an area hospital in critical condition.
Officers then found a man on the second floor during a protective sweep of the home, Cruz said. He had been shot in the head.
Authorities have not named the man, who medics pronounced dead at the scene.
The police bureau’s Violent Crime Unit is investigating.
