DUQUESNE, Pa. — A woman is in the hospital after an early Wednesday morning shooting that turned into a SWAT situation.

Allegheny County police believe a man who lives in the home there shot his girlfriend, who was in a car in front of the home.

Officers tell Channel 11 she was hit once in the leg and rushed to the hospital in stable condition.

We saw investigators search the white car she was in before towing it to Allegheny County Police Headquarters.

Meanwhile, SWAT spent multiple hours at the scene, surrounding the house they believed the alleged shooter was inside. When officers finally got inside, they said he was gone.
