PITTSBURGH — A man was shot in Pittsburgh’s South Side Entertainment District early Sunday morning.
Public safety officials say officers patrolling the district heard several gunshots at the intersection of East Carson Street and South 18th Street around 2:45 a.m.
Police say a man was driving through the intersection when another man standing on the street shot him.
Officers quickly arrived at the scene, rendering aid to the victim — who was shot in the buttock — until medics took him to a hospital. He’s in stable condition.
According to court documents, an officer saw the shooting happen and watched the suspect throw a gun under a vehicle while running away before officers caught him and took him into custody.
That man has since been identified as Joseph Vance Brown, 20, of Clairton.
Part of East Carson Street was closed while investigators processed evidence from the scene. It has since reopened.
