A man is recovering after being shot Tuesday afternoon in Pittsburgh’s Knoxville neighborhood.

Mount Oliver Police working in the area arrived first and located a man who had been shot in the thigh, Cruz reported.

Officers applied a tourniquet until Pittsburgh EMS could transport the patient to the hospital in critical, but stable condition.

The Mobile Crime Unit processed evidence at the scene. Violent Crime Unit detectives are investigating.
