Two People Shot in Pittsburgh’s Homewood West Neighborhood

Violent Crime Unit detectives opened a probe after investigators concluded the two injuries likely came from a single incident.

Overview

  • Officers on patrol reported hearing gunfire and found a woman with a leg wound near North Dallas Avenue and Kelly Street who was conscious and taken to a nearby hospital by EMS.
  • Shortly after that discovery, a man arrived at West Penn Hospital with a gunshot wound to his foot and was treated in stable condition.
  • Pittsburgh police say initial findings indicate both victims were wounded in the same shooting and detectives from the Violent Crime Unit are actively investigating the scene and witnesses.
  • Authorities have not released information about suspects or arrests and investigative steps such as crime-scene processing and review of surveillance footage are ongoing.
  • The incident adds to reporting of multiple weekend shootings in other U.S. cities and fuels local concerns about public safety and the pace of police investigations.
