Man’s eye grazed after shots fired in Sheraden; bullets damage car, home

PITTSBURGH — A man was taken to a hospital after a shooting incident in Sheraden.

Pittsburgh Police say they were called to Narcissus Avenue and Bergman Street at 1:25 a.m. on Sunday after a ShotSpotter reported multiple rounds.

They found a man nearby, at the 600 block of Hillsboro Street, who was suffering from a graze-type wound or laceration to his eye.

Investigators say he was alert and told officers that someone shot at him after getting out of a vehicle while he was walking his dog. He said the vehicle then left the area.

Dale Fiore, who lives along Bergman Street, woke up and looked out his window to see officers lined up and down his block.

“They were back there. They were there, all the way around the bend, up the road,” Fiore said. “They had caution tape across, the yellow. They were flashing their, their flashlights are really powerful. They were flashing them everywhere probably looking for shells.”

Police went to the original area where the shots were fired and said they found some shell casings. A vehicle and a house were also damaged by bullets in that area.

Later that morning, Fiore realized his car was hit by a bullet. It went clear through his car door and frame.

“Wow, that’s a powerful shot,” Fiore said.  “What are you going to do?”

Fiore’s car was parked in front of his home when it was hit by gunfire.  Just around the corner from his house, another bullet grazed a fence and hit the post.

Fiore said shootings in the neighborhood are rare and he feels safe.

“Doesn’t happen down here at this end,” he said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Pittsburgh Police.
