1 person dead after shooting on Pittsburgh’s South Side near youth football game – WPXI

PITTSBURGH — There has been an increase in violence in recent months in the South Side, including shootings and fights.

Police are now investigating a deadly shooting in the South Side Slopes, hours after a violent night rocked a different part of the neighborhood.

According to police, after the shooting, a friend of the victim started to drive them to the hospital but stopped after seeing police patrolling the area. The friend then asked the officers for help.

Unfortunately, after they tried to render aid, the victim died. The Pittsburgh police chief had this to say.

“It’s concerning with the level of violence that’s going on in the city of Pittsburgh. The number of people carrying guns and here, once again, area kids are playing football, and to have someone shot is unacceptable. This has to stop,” said Scott Schubert.

Pittsburgh stabbing victim says he was saved by neighbor who opened fire on attacker

The victim of a stabbing in Pittsburgh said he was saved when a neighbor intervened.

That neighbor said he opened fire on the attacker, who then drove off despite having a gunshot wound to the leg.

The incident happened a little before 7:30 a.m. Monday inside an apartment building on the 200 block of West Warrington Avenue, which falls on the line between the city’s Beltzhoover and Mount Washington neighborhoods.

Two of the people injured are in critical condition, Austin Interim Chief of Police Joseph Chacon said at a news briefing Saturday.
