Pittsburgh police are looking for a suspect in connection with Friday's shooting in Downtown Pittsburgh. 

Police released photos of the man they're looking for, and they're asking for the public's help in order to locate and identify him. He's being called a person of interest.

The shooting, which took place in the area of Penn Avenue and Garrison Place, left two people injured. Penn Avenue was closed as police investigated.

A woman was shot on the sidewalk in the lower leg, while a man was shot in the arm and the leg. He was located a block away. 

Police say the suspect ran down Garrison Place toward Liberty Avenue. 

The fact that a shooting could happen in the Cultural District, a section of Pittsburgh not known for violent crime, has put some, but not all, people on edge. 

Tim Sharp, who said he's been coming downtown for years, said his sense of safety changed after the shooting.

"I feel scared. You know what I mean? Like, there's an imminent danger here, and I never, ever felt that before," Sharp said. "For the first time, I feel like I need to arm myself."

He sees it as part of a larger Downtown trend.

"The shootings, the people that are lurking, the people that are aggressively approaching you. It has gotten more and more aggressive with panhandling and wanting things," Sharp said.

His view is far from universal. 

"I'm not concerned it's some sort of trend," Bennett Miller said. "Downtown Pittsburgh is a safe place. You know, it's clean, it's beautiful. 

Chris Barzcak lives next to the restaurant where the man who was shot ran inside.

"It doesn't change the perspective [of safety Downtown] because it's an isolated incident and doesn't happen a lot," he said. "We've been here for two years. We've lived in bigger cities, and Pittsburgh, being a smaller city, the crime is very minuscule."

Barczak has a message for people who stay away from Downtown.

"It's not as dangerous as they just come down and walk around. Are there some people that you wouldn't see everywhere in the suburbs, yes, but come Downtown, walk around, and you'll be surprised at how safe you do feel, because it's really not bad."
