It has been a violent weekend in the city so far.
One resident told Channel 11 he grew up in the area, went away for a few years, and when he came back nothing had changed.
Two men were shot Saturday afternoon in a Pittsburgh neighborhood.
There is still a lot of gun violence, and this shooting is just one of many residents hear about every week.
Police are on scene at Frankstown Ave. and N. Homewood after a Shotspotter alert.

Pittsburgh police responded to a Shotspotter alert for shots fired in the 7100 block of Frankstown Avenue just after 12:30 p.m.
“Originally it sounded that the wounds were pretty serious. The police were able to apply tourniquets for both of the victims until the medics came,” explained Pittsburgh police official Cara Cruz.
This comes just days after a 6-year-old girl was shot in the stomach on the same section of Frankstown Avenue. Residents are saying this is nothing new in this neighborhood.
Police haven’t arrested a suspect yet, but they are continuing to investigate.
