2 killed in overnight Pittsburgh shooting
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A teenager and a man were killed in an overnight shooting in Pittsburgh's Hill District.
The shooting happened in the area of Webster Avenue and Somers Street at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday. Police were called to the scene after receiving a 16-round ShotSpotter alert.
One of the victims was found shot in the chest and was taken to the hospital by medics. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. The other victim was found by responding medics and was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head.
The medical examiner identified the victims as 16-year-old Cameron Blue-Gray and 33-year-old Robert Lee Freeman Jr.
Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesperson Cara Cruz told KDKA-TV that the investigation is still early in the process. It is not known if the victims knew each other.
"Violence any time of day in any neighborhood is extremely unfortunate and troubling," Cruz said.
There have been no arrests, and a motive for the shooting is not known at this time. Police also were looking into if a third person was involved in the situation.
"There was some original information from (our team) that there might have been a third person, but that is part of the investigation," Cruz said.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call the police and ask for the Violent Crime Unit.
