A Mt. Oliver teen is charged with firearms violations in connection with a shooting in the Pittsburgh neighborhood last week.
Allegheny County Police arrested Kyreese Thomas, 19, at his home Tuesday.
He is charged with persons not to possess a firearm and firing a gun into an occupied structure.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday before Magisterial District Judge Richard G. King.
Online court documents list Thomas in the Allegheny County Jail unable to post $75,000 bail.
Mt. Oliver police responded to a call for shots fired Feb. 26 around noon along the 100 block of Ormsby Avenue.
Officers arrived and located numerous spent casings of three calibers. They also discovered a house had been hit by bullets during the exchange of gunfire.
Police said no victims were located at the time, but a person arrived at UPMC Mercy hospital a short time later suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was treated and released the same day.
Police said a search of Thomas’ home revealed two handguns, one of which was reported stolen, along with a brick of heroin.
