PITTSBURGH, PA – The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is investigating a shooting in the 7100 block of Churchland Street in Lincoln-Lemington at approximately 8:45 p.m. A 24-year-old Black male was shot in the right calf as he left his home and was getting into a car. Paramedics transported him to UPMC Presbyterian where he is in stable condition.
