Police are investigating an apparent shooting early Saturday in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood.

Shortly before 3 a.m., authorities received a ShotSpotter alert of gunshots fired in the 200 block of Estella Street, Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said.

Police officers from the city’s Zone 3 station arrived to find “a crime scene but no victim,” Cruz said.

Then, “a short time later,” a nearby hospital treated a male patient who arrived with a gunshot wound to the lower leg.

“He arrived in stable condition,” Cruz said.

Officials did not provide further details about the person who was shot.

Police have not released any information about possible suspects or charges.

No further information was immediately available. Police continue to investigate, Cruz said.
