Man shot, drives to Pittsburgh medic station with 5-year-old in car

PITTSBURGH — Neighbors on Estella Avenue told Channel 11 they thought it was fireworks. But it was multiple rounds of gunfire.

One man was hit along with several vehicles.

It was just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when neighbors heard a barrage of gunfire.

Pittsburgh police were dispatched there for an 11-round ShotSpotter alert.

When we got on the scene, there were numerous evidence markers on the ground, as well as multiple casings from different weapons.

People who live on the street say an SUV was on Estella, waiting for a vehicle to drive by, when one or more shooters opened fire and continued to chase the vehicle up the street, firing shots, hitting the driver and several parked vehicles.

“They were shooting in that direction at another car speeding away. It was crazy. It was like right out of a movie,” said Jason Carnevale.

A short time later, police say the victim drove himself a little over a half mile to a paramedic station on Proctor Way.

He was shot in the upper back and rushed to the hospital in stable condition.

A 5-year-old girl was in the backseat.

Police say she was not hurt and was returned to her family.

A dark-colored Dodge Durango with PA plates MBR-9566 was seen fleeing the scene. Anyone with information is asked to call police headquarters at 412-323-7800.

Police have not said if the vehicle was located or if they have any suspects.

The investigation is ongoing.
