Pittsburgh police responded to two separate shootings early Saturday morning, including one that left a man in critical condition, authorities said.

Officers responded about 1:30 a.m. to a ShotSpotter notification in the Hill District near Perry Street and Wylie Avenue, said Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz.

Police found no victim at the scene but discovered three parked cars that were struck by the gunfire, she said.

Another ShotSpotter notification sent police to a home on Arabella Street in Knoxville about 4 a.m., Cruz said. Officers found evidence of a shooting on the porch of the home, which was open but empty.

Cruz said shortly after the alert, a man was dropped off at a hospital with two gunshot wounds to the chest. He remains in critical condition.

Police are investigating both incidents.

TribLIVE commenting policy

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
