I did see that. I’m pretty sure it was a Chrysler 300. Not sure if he saw the fire and noped out of the situation, or picked up the shooter

Yeah I was watching Better Call Saul and I thought the shots were from the show, but I realized they were way too loud and reverberant to be coming from the TV

On the bridge. At least as far as I can tell. Someone came in the 7/11 yelling about it while I was on my lunch break (so around 2 PM) 3 Weeks ago or so.

They came flying by the Pennsylvanian. Even with my gaming headset on it caught my attention.

Reply to Infrastructure and Amenity Dreams by MWBartko
Dream: Restore the entire streetcar/interurban/commuter rail network we had pre-1950 and expand on it, prioritize public transit over private automobiles, cancel the remaining portions of the Southern Beltway and Mon-Fayette, push for more sustainable zoning laws/parking minumums, and electrify the mainlines used for passenger rail.
Realistic: Fucking rail to Oakland. Maybe up the Ohio River as far as Sewickley with the airport as an eventual goal. Bus routes that don't all run from a suburb to downtown. Restore Allentown and Penn Station rail service. Modernize our water/sewage/utilities. Build some developments in the Lower Hill that will actually benefit current residents. Fix up our sad excuse of an Amtrak station and expand on the existing services.
Future: See dream above.

Where’d you hear that? Was that the car that sped off west down 6th right after the shots?

That is my guess. I am wondering if the cars were shot at.

If you talk to any native Pittsburgher (I’m not one but worked at a Trader Joe’s so I got to know some locals ) nobody wanted to live in Lawrenceville back in the day and it baffles them that people REALLY want to live there now 😂. but yes…that’s insanely expensive for Pittsburgh. You could pay our mortgage twice and we live in Mt. Lebanon 💅🏻

Yeah I’ve been watching that too. They’ve got flashlights and they’re looking for something. Maybe bullets/casings?

Is that 3 shootings in a month near Smith and Liberty?

A bullet went into someone’s living room and they are looking for a dark blue charger

They have blocked 6th at Burlington. And are very interested in 2 cars parked there. But a number of cop cars have left too.
Update. That is were the shots were from. There are some little yellow evidence flags set up in the road.

Yeah heard about 8 gunshots, and then a ton of sirens within 10 secs. Saw around 7 cop cars on 6th between William penn and grant for a few mins before they all sped off, sounds like they went to Smithfield based on other people

There were a lot more than that. A would guess a full clip so 12 or more. Looking down at the garage. They are walking through it. But no ambulances so that is probably a good sign.

Oh yeah I see it now. Bunch of cops all along Smithfield outside of Burlington/Liberty Garage. That really was right out front my apartment…
