PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A woman is recovering in the hospital after an early morning shooting on the South Side. 

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, just after 1 a.m. on Saturday morning police patrolling the South Side heard shots fired in the 1100 block of East Carson Street and responded. 

They found a woman who had been shot in her lower leg. She was conscious and spoke with officers and medics at the scene. 

She was ultimately taken to the hospital in stable condition to be treated for her injury.
