A Pittsburgh man was hospitalized after being shot Sunday in a Homestead home invasion.

The incident took place at an apartment building around 9:30 a.m. along the 300 block of East Ninth Avenue.

Police Chief Jeff DeSimone said at least one person kicked in a steel reinforced door of a second-floor unit and shot a man in the leg.

The victim was transported to UPMC Mercy hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It was unclear if the suspect or suspects stole anything.

Police believe it was a targeted attack.

“It doesn’t seem random to me,” DeSimone said.

No other injuries were reported.

Information about possible suspects was not released. Allegheny County Police have taken over the investigation.

Anyone with information about the incident should call the county tip line at 833-255-8477. Callers can remain anonymous.
