Just after 9:00 a.m., Pittsburgh Police from Zone 1 were dispatched to the 100 block of Hazlett Street in the Northview Heights neighborhood for a two-round ShotSpotter alert. While en route, dispatch updated officers that calls had come in for shots fired in the area with possible victims.
Arriving officers located two deceased individuals upstairs, on the second floor, of the residence. One was an adult female, the other an adult male. Both had sustained gunshot wounds and both were pronounced at the scene by medics.
There were also four children in the home at the time of the shooting. None of the children were injured, nor were any other injuries reported.
The Mobile Crime Unit and Violent Crime Unit detectives arrived to process evidence at the scene, including recovered shell casings.
The initial investigation indicates the incident is domestic in nature, but the exact circumstances are still under active investigation. At this time, there is no ongoing threat to the community.
The deceased will be identified, and the cause and manner of death provided, by the Allegheny County Office of the Medical Examiner.
