Police investigate shooting that burst pipe inside Hill District apartment building
Police are investigating a shooting that caused a water leak inside a Hill District apartment building early Friday.
No injuries were reported, Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said.
Shortly before 2 a.m., Pittsburgh police and firefighters responded to an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Centre Avenue for a report of shots fired.
Authorities believe that the “shots were fired indoors, from one apartment suite into another,” Cruz said.
At least one shot struck a pipe inside one of the apartments, Cruz said.
Firefighters got the leak under control while police searched for victims.
Officials said they not find any victims or suspects.
