No one was injured in this latest shooting. In the past, a man was shot and wounded on the firehouse driveway and had to be treated by firefighters.
Off camera, firefighters told KDKA they are concerned about coming to work. The head of the firefighters' union, Ralph Sicuro, makes it clear: these firefighters are in danger.
He wants something done about it.
Mayor Bill Peduto has agreed to install bulletproof glass and increase police patrols in the area.
