Pittsburgh Police responded to a shotspotter alert for shots fired shortly after 12:30 p.m. in the 7100 block on Frankstown Avenue
“Originally it sounded like the wounds were pretty serious. The police were able to put tourniquets on both victims until the paramedics came, ”said Cara Cruz, Pittsburgh police officer.
This came just days after a 6-year-old girl was shot in the stomach on the same section of Frankstown Avenue. Local residents say this is nothing new in this neighborhood.
