PITTSBURGH — Police have identified a person of interest in an overnight incident in Beechview that sent two men to the hospital.
Pittsburgh police are searching for a woman they would like to question about what happened just before midnight on West Liberty Avenue.
Pittsburgh police shut down the busy road as officers combed the scene, impacting traffic.
Police found a man who had been shot in the arm and another man with facial injuries.
After talking with the victims, police said the men were downtown and met a woman who agreed to go with them somewhere else “to party."

According to police, there was some sort of argument in the car and the woman pulled out a gun and shot one of them. The car had a clear visible bullet hole and police placed an evidence marker in the road.
Police said the man with the facial injuries couldn’t give a clear explanation of what happened to him.
Both men are expected to be OK.
People who live in the neighborhood tell Channel 11 this is extremely frustrating and they’re sick of the commotion near their homes.
“I was in the bathroom. I did hear 2 loud bangs which I just brushed off as a breaker bursting or something with a power line. Then I saw red and blue flashing lights and was like OK, what's going on,” Sasha Gardner said.
