Pittsburgh police received multiple 9-1-1 calls for a person shot inside an apartment building in the 600 block of Stanwix Street in Pittsburgh just before 9:45 p.m., the release shows.
Upon arrival police found a man with gunshot wounds to each of his legs, police say.
Officers applied tourniquets until paramedics arrived, then the man was transported to the hospital where he remains in critical condition, according to the release.

It remains unclear how the man was shot inside the apartment so high up with no word from police on any signs of forced entry.
