PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania say two bystanders were injured by gunshots when they were caught in the crossfire of a Pittsburgh gun battle.

Police say people in at least two vehicles exchanged gunfire at an intersection in the Greenfield neighborhood shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday.

Police say the shots continued as the vehicles “became mobile,” apparently traveling along the avenue. City spokesman Chris Togneri said two people were then caught in the crossfire.

On Friday in the same neighborhood, two people were shot outside a grocery store. A suspect is being sought. It’s unclear whether the two shootings are related.
