Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 spoke with a building resident who let police inside the building.

“I looked out the window and they were all looking for a place to get in. So I yelled down, ‘What’s going on?’ and they said, ‘Do you live here, can you get us in the building?’ I said, ‘Absolutely,'” Noah Reynolds said. “There were 10 officers or so. At that point, they weren’t sure where the suspect was.”

Authorities say it was a domestic dispute that led to the gunfire and that no one was injured. Police are looking for a suspect who fled by car and have not released a name or description.

“Somebody kicked in a door, fired seven or eight shots inside, came outside and fired three more shots down here, Two of which hit that transformer right over there,” Reynolds said.
