A young man, aged 21, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds late last night in Larimer, a neighborhood that now stands as another bookmark in the chronicle of gun violence stretching across the nation. According to the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department, the victim was transported to a local hospital by a private vehicle just before 11 p.m. and was declared dead shortly after his arrival.
