Community stunned by shooting that hurt convenience store employee on Pittsburgh’s South Side

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police detectives are looking for a person suspected of shooting a convenience store employee as he was taking out the trash Saturday night.

It happened at the intersection of 22nd and East Carson Street.

“There were cops over there, cops over here, and over there, there were flashing lights everywhere,” said Elias Mallouhi, a regular customer at the Jag Dev Convenience Store

Yellow tape still surrounded trash bins near the business Sunday morning, around where police say an employee of Jag Dev was shot in the chest around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

“I saw police parked out front, and I saw the store was still open, which is weird because typically they close at 11,” Boris Langer said. “I tried to go into the store, and the cop told me they’re closed, and I said ok and then went home,” Langer said.

People who live in the neighborhood heard the gunshots but were surprised to learn the victim was an employee at the convenience store. Langer found out about what happened from another store owner in the area.

“I asked if she knew what happened, and she said ‘yeah the guy got shot taking the trash out.’ Crazy,” Langer said.

Langer then realized he knows the victim.

“He says hi to me, and he knows my daughter. I’ve been seeing him since he opened, however long ago that was,” Langer said.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact police by calling 412-323-7800.

A steel drum weighing thousands of pounds somehow rolled out of a construction site in Pittsburgh and eventually struck and killed a woman who was walking on a nearby sidewalk, police said.

The accident occurred around 10.40am Friday local time in the city’s Oakland neighborhood, where the University of Pittsburgh’s new sports performance centre is being built.

The drum was either knocked over or dislodged from a piece of heavy equipment, police said. It then rolled several hundred feet as it went down a hill, through a fence and onto the sidewalk where the woman was walking with co-workers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre’s Western Psychiatric Hospital. The drum then went across a road before it came to rest against a pickup truck.

The woman, who suffered a head injury, was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. Her name has not been released, and no other injuries were reported in the accident, which remains under investigation.
