Two people, including one teenager, have been charged with attempted murder in connection with Friday's shooting, authorities announced Saturday.
The latest on the shooting on Brighton Road from Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Acting Police Chief Thomas Stangrecki and Commander of Major Crimes Richard Ford:Four victims self-transported to the hospital, according to Ford. One person was transported from the scene in critical condition. A sixth victim had left the scene and was then transported to the hospital. One victim was taken to Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital while the others went to Allegheny General Hospital, Ford said.
The victim who was in critical condition was upgraded to stable condition, police said later Friday afternoon. Police do not yet have a motive for the shooting, but Ford said"there's reason to believe there was obviously specific people targeted." Late Friday night, Pittsburgh Public Safety reported that two people of interest had been detained. On Saturday, the department announced that 19-year-old Shawn Davis and a 16-year-old boy had been arrested in connection with the shooting on charges of criminal attempted homicide, criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault and firearms charges.
"This is probably, in my pastoral ministry that I have been doing over 30 years, this has been one of the most devastating days of my life, I would say," Rev. Brenda Gregg, the pastor at the Destiny of Faith Church, said during a Friday afternoon press conference.
