An armed kidnapping in Allegheny County led to a shooting in Pittsburgh's Greenfield neighborhood on Wednesday night, investigators said. 

In a news release, a spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Safety said the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police was notified of a report of an armed kidnapping to the Plum Borough Police Department around 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday.  A family member told Plum police that his brother had been kidnapped by two armed suspects who were demanding ransom money, the spokesperson said. 

The victim's phone was tracked to Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood. Then, around 7:10 p.m., someone called 911 to report men fighting, followed by the sound of gunfire. At the scene, according to authorities, a man was found shot in the chest on Deely Street in Pittsburgh's Greenfield neighborhood. He was last listed in stable condition. 

In an update on Thursday, Allegheny County police said preliminary information showed that the victim went to an "undisclosed location" to meet up with someone he had met a few days earlier in Pittsburgh. When he got there, police said he "encountered multiple individuals who subsequently abducted him." 

Police believe the kidnapping didn't happen in Plum, saying the suspects drove the victim to multiple areas throughout Allegheny County before the shooting on Deely Street. But no other information was released. 

The victim told police that the suspects fled the area in a vehicle. As of Thursday afternoon, county police said there had been no arrests. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the county police tipline at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
