PITTSBURGH — The 62nd Street Bridge was temporarily closed Friday morning after a police incident ended with a suspect fatally shooting himself.

Allegheny County homicide detectives were called by Sharpsburg police to assist with an investigation into shots fired along the 900 block of Penn Avenue after 3 a.m. It was determined to be a domestic dispute where a male fired at least one shot into a woman’s home. No one was injured in the shooting.

City of Pittsburgh police identified the suspect a short time later walking along the 62nd Street Bridge. When police arrived, the suspect fatally shot himself on the bridge, according to an Allegheny County police report.
