A man accused of carjacking another man in Pittsburgh was found shot following a traffic stop in the vehicle police said he stole. 

Pittsburgh Police said Monday that officers were first called to the area of Friendship Avenue for a ShotSpotter alert and when they arrived at the scene, a man told them he had been carjacked by another man.

The man told police that during the carjacking, he fired two gunshots at the man, who then left the area in the stolen vehicle. 

Police say they then issued an alert for the stolen vehicle, which was headed out of Pittsburgh, headed eastbound. 

According to police, a short time later, Pitcairn Police saw a vehicle that matched the description from Pittsburgh Police that was driving erratically.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher


The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.

Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.

Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.

Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.

Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.

Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
