One person was shot and is in stable condition, Det. Sgt. Kohlhepp said.

"It doesn't appear to be too serious of an injury luckily," he said.

The second person was injured by breaking glass from one of the vehicles, he added. Police said four vehicles were hit by gunfire.

At first, it was believed there was an exchange of gunfire, but Det. Sgt. Kohlhepp later said investigators determined there was only one shooter. 

Police have recovered a number of spent shell casings. Det. Sgt. Kohlhepp said they are also trying to determine if a traffic stop made by Pittsburgh police may or may not be related to the incident.

There have been no arrests.

Police are continuing to investigate.
