A teenage boy in Pittsburgh’s East Hills area is now in stable condition after being discovered with a gunshot wound to his thigh. Emergency responders and law enforcement agencies are piecing together the circumstances that led to the shooting. According to WPXI, the 15-year-old was located yesterday afternoon in the 600 block of Haverhill Street, prompting immediate medical attention and transport to a local hospital.
Allegheny County Police, who have taken on the investigation, have since traced the shooting's origin to Wilkinsburg, pinpointing the 1500 block of Center Street as the scene where the teen was presumably shot, the boy was then found in Pittsburgh, efforts are now focused on identifying any individuals linked to the incident and have thus encouraged the community to communicate any known details.
