2 women injured in Lawrenceville shooting

Two women in their 20s were injured in a shooting in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood early Monday.

Pittsburgh police said that just before 4 a.m., a woman who had been shot in the chest arrived at a local hospital in critical condition.

That woman was able to tell police that the shooting happened at the intersection of 42nd and Butler Streets.

Police then received information a short time later that a second woman, who was grazed in the arm by a bullet, was dropped off at a different hospital.

Witnesses said there had been an argument inside Diljah Restaurant and Hookah Lounge that spilled out into the street where the shooting happened.

Police said they’re now searching for a third woman who is believed to have fired the one round that hit both victims.

Pittsburgh police continue to investigate.
