A man was critically injured Wednesday morning after a shooting in Pittsburgh’s East Hills.
Pittsburgh police said they were dispatched around 8:20 a.m. to the 2300 block of East Hills Drive, where they found the injured man inside a home.
The man, who authorities have not named, had been shot once in the neck, police spokeswoman Eliza Durham said.
Paramedics used a blood transfusion to treat the man inside the home, then rushed him to an area hospital in critical but stable condition, Durham said.
Four people were killed in 2025 in the city’s East Hills neighborhood — tied with Homewood for the highest of any city neighborhood, police data shows. Three of those four homicides took place in the 2300 block of East Hills Drive.
A 56-year-old Garfield man was fatally shot there Dec. 9. Another man — Hezon Wilson, 25, of East Hills — was shot and killed on the block in August. A third man had been shot and killed there in February.
At least 214 shootings, gun arrests, sex crimes and reports of harassment and assault occurred within a half-mile of the block since Aug. 1, according to the crime aggregating website crimemapping.com. That’s an average of more than one every day.
No arrests have been announced in Wednesday’s shooting. Durham said detectives from the bureau’s Violent Crime Unit are investigating.
