While officers were on their way to the scene, several calls came in to 911 reporting that multiple people had been shot.

Pittsburgh medics transported three victims to the hospital: One person with a gunshot wound was listed in critical condition, a second person with a gunshot wound was listed in serious condition, but later listed in critical condition and a third person had a graze wound and was listed in stable condition.

Around ten other people with graze wounds or minor injuries from falling were treated at the scene by medics, public safety officials said.

The Violent Crime Unit is investigating, and the Mobile Crime Unit was called to the scene to process evidence, including recovered shell casings. They are also looking at any and all available footage of the incident.

There have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.
