Pittsburgh was shaken by an active shooting situation that unfolded near the Garfield neighborhood. The incident, which involved the firing of “hundreds of rounds,” led to a substantial police response and the closure of roads in the area.

While specific details about injuries remain unclear, the situation reportedly escalated into gunfire when law enforcement arrived to serve an eviction notice. Garfield, a small neighborhood in northeast Pittsburgh, became the epicenter of the incident.

Witnesses near the scene expressed shock at the intensity of the gunfire, likening it to something out of a movie. Authorities urged residents to stay away from the area due to ongoing shots being fired, indicating the level of danger that unfolded.

A significant development was that the resident of the home involved was reportedly shooting down police drones following the eviction incident. This confrontation culminated in the resident barricading themselves inside the home. Efforts were made to evacuate neighboring houses and guide residents to safety as police worked to contain the situation.

Both city police and the FBI were present at the scene, underscoring the gravity of the situation. As authorities set up a media staging area, the community anxiously awaited more information about the incident and its aftermath.
