Investigators said a teenager was likely the intended target in the shooting. However, no injuries to students, staff or any other person were reported.

Police were called to the high school just after 8 a.m. after a ShotSpotter alert for 11 rounds of gunfire.

The teenage boy who was likely targeted is being "largely uncooperative" in the investigation, public safety officials said.

Police are reviewing video from surveillance cameras in the area of the Pittsburgh Public Schools' building located on Perrysville Avenue.

Bullets did hit the building, causing two broken windows and damage to the brick work, according to police.

Pittsburgh police continue to investigate.
