Early this morning, at about 4 a.m., Pittsburgh Police visited an apartment on the 800 block of E. Warrington Ave. This was in response to a shooting incident involving a 28-year-old male victim. According to the City of Pittsburgh Public Safety Blotter, the individual was found with a gunshot wound in his arm at a family member's residence.
Although the victim was transported to the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition, the exact location of the shooting remains unclear. With the shooting having allegedly taken place near the Beltzhoover Community Center on Gearing Ave, police were dispatched to the area but failed to discover evidence supporting this claim.
The motives and precise details of the crime are still unknown, and the Violent Crime Unit detectives are investigating. The Public Safety Blotter, via the City of Pittsburgh website, states, "It is not known at this time precisely where this incident happened." In the face of growing concerns over community safety, law enforcement's effort to piece together this puzzle is especially paramount.
