Arriving officers were initially unable to locate a victim in the vicinity. Approximately twenty minutes later, a neighboring jurisdiction informed Pittsburgh police they had a male in their care who matched the victim description.

The man had suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was conscious, alert, and speaking with officers and medics; and was transported in stable condition by Pittsburgh EMS to an area hospital.

The victim was uncooperative with officers and a crime scene has still not been located.

Violent Crime Unit detectives are investigating the incident.
