PITTSBURGH — Two people were taken to the hospital after a shooting at the downtown Pittsburgh Greyhound station.
According to Allegheny County 911, police and EMS responded to the station around 6:40 a.m.
According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, two men got into an altercation on a bus that was coming into Pittsburgh. Two agents from the Attorney General’s Office were in the area and saw a man threatening another with a knife and actively trying to stab him.
The fight spilled into the concourse near the buses, and when the actor didn’t comply with the agent’s request to drop the knife, the agents fired their guns. The actor was hit in the stomach and chest.
Sources told Channel 11 that the agents were working a drug operation in the area of the Greyhound station at the time of the incident.
