PITTSBURGH — A SWAT team was called early Friday morning to Pittsburgh’s South Shore because of an armed man, officials said.
The incident was reported about 2 a.m. on West Carson Street, which was blocked off until just before 5:30 a.m.
Negotiators were brought in to communicate with the man, who was later rushed to a hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Multiple police vehicles responded to the incident in the area of Station Square.
Just arrived to police situation. We are along West Carson where police have the road blocked off to thru traffic as you’re heading toward Station Square. Traffic is backing up to the ramp from the Fort Pitt Bridge. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/oyb6BkF3wY
