A 33-year-old man has died at the hospital following a late-night shooting in Pittsburgh's East Hills.

Pittsburgh Public Safety said that officers from Zone 5 were called to the area of East Hills Drive after receiving three ShotSpotter alerts for a total of 32 rounds fired.

Officers who were responding to the call were then notified that a man had been shot and was being taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, Public Safety officials said.

According to Public Safety, officers found the vehicle that was on the way to the hospital along Penn Avenue in the city's Point Breeze neighborhood and that the man had been shot in the chest.
