A 16-year-old girl was hospitalized Sunday night after Pittsburgh Police said she was shot in the leg.

The girl was found on Rochelle Street in Knoxville after a ShotSpotter alert just before 9:30 p.m., according to police. Officers used a tourniquet to stem the bleeding from a gunshot wound on the girl’s upper thigh and she was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Police continue to investigate and a suspect description was not available.
