PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Police are investigating after a shooting on Pittsburgh's North Side, in the Perry South neighborhood, sent one man to the hospital on Monday evening.
The incident was first reported around 6:50 p.m. in the 2600 block of Ellis Street.
One woman said she heard at least 10 to 15 shots.
"Multiple shell casings were found at the scene, indicating there was some sort of gun play," Pittsburgh Police Sgt. William Vollberg said.
Brenda Waters' Report:
Sgt. Vollberg said an SUV showed up at Allegheny General Hospital a short time later carrying the 23-year-old victim inside. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; and at last check, he was listed in stable condition. His name has not yet been released.
The vehicle had a passenger-side and a rear window shot out.
Outside the hospital emergency room, KDKA spotted an SUV on a flatbed truck with two broken windows.
Investigators were trying to figure out if the shooting victim drove himself to the hospital, or if someone else drove the vehicle and then immediately took off.
There is no word yet on what prompted the gunfire. Police also had no immediate description of the shooter.
The investigation continues.
