The Edgewood Police Department said a person was shot near the Wendy’s. They were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“We [saw] people running through the parking lot,” a witness named Mikayla told Channel 11.
Allegheny County Police said two “males” were shooting at each other in this area. They said the victim was hit in the buttocks.
“My 4-year-old son is out here. My little sister is out here. I’m out here. Anything could have happened to any of us. We could’ve been shot just from being the crossfire,” Mikayla said.
“I was just here two hours ago,” Gerald Horne said. He’d left the Wendy’s not long before the shootout started.
“I went over to the plasma center right over here, I come back and see this. I’m like in shock because I could’ve easily got hit,” Horne said.
No other people were hit but cars were. One white sedan had its back window shot out and a white SUV had a bullet hole in the driver door.
The second shooter fled the scene. Edgewood’s Police Chief says he does not believe the public is in danger and the two shooters likely knew each other.
“I hope he got what he needed to get. I hope that he’s done now. I don’t see the point in people having guns anyway,” Mikayla said.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Allegheny County Police Tip Line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Tips can be made anonymously.
