A man was critically injured after gunshots broke out Monday in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood.
Police were dispatched around 7:45 p.m. to Mayflower Street near Emans Way, where the gunshot detection system ShotSpotter reported that six gunshots had been fired, a police spokeswoman said.
Responding officers found a man, who had been shot once in his abdomen, the spokeswoman said. They provided first aid to try to slow the bleeding.
First responders rushed the victim, who police have not named, to an area hospital in critical condition, the spokeswoman said. He was immediately taken into surgery.
Officers from the police bureau’s Mobile Crime Unit were called to recover bullet casings at the scene.
No arrests have been made.
Police responded to a separate shooting — where a teen was shot in the thigh — in the city’s Homewood neighborhood around 7:30 p.m. Monday, about 15 minutes before the gunfire was reported in Larimer.
The Homewood crime scene was about 2 miles away from the one in Larimer. Police have not said if the two shootings could be related.
