A police shooting in East Pittsburgh was recorded in a graphic video that has spread on social media after being posted on Facebook. Police have not released much information about the shooting, but the video shows officers stopping a car on a residential street. Two people get out of the car and run and shots can then be fired. One person appears to fall to the ground. You can watch the video below:

Another video posted on Facebook shows a person being taken into an ambulance and receiving chest compressions from a paramedic. You can watch that video, which is graphic, below:

Witnesses said on Facebook that the victim who was shot was a 13-year-old boy, and have said the teen died, but police have not confirmed those details. The identities of those involved in the video, including the police officers, have not been released.

According to WTAE-TV, the shooting happened Tuesday evening in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a borough of about 2,000 residents in Allegheny County that is 15 minutes outside of the city of Pittsburgh.

Police stopped a vehicle on Grandview Avenue and Howard Street in East Pittsburgh while investigating a shooting that happened about 8 p.m., according to the news station. Police said shots were fired during the traffic stop and one person was taken to the hospital.

One other person was arrested at the scene and the other is still being sought by officers, WTAE reports. The earlier shooting was reported about 8 p.m. Multiple 911 callers reported hearing shots fired and responding officers found a male victim in the 800 block of Kirkpatrick Avenue in North Braddock, according to WTAE. The condition of that shooting victim is not known. Police did not say why they stopped the car that led to the police shooting.

The Allegheny County Police Homicide Unit is investigating both incidents, according to WPXI-TV.
