Police say the initial call came in for shots fired inside the apartment building and when officers arrived, they found a man who had been shot in the chest along Charles Street. He was taken to the hospital in stable condition but was later downgraded to critical condition and was taken into surgery.

A short time later, another man showed up at an urgent care center in Brentwood who had been shot in the chest. He was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital by medics and was last listed in stable condition.

Police say that detectives from the Violent Crime Unit are leading the investigation, which they referred to as 'ongoing.'
