Pittsburgh police are investigating after a boy was found with a “graze-type wound” to his head after a shooting Wednesday night, officials said.

Crews responded to the 5500 block of Penn Avenue near the city’s Garfield and Friendship neighborhoods around 8:45 p.m., said Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz.

First responders located the boy, who was conscious and talking to police. He was unable to provide information about where the shooting occurred, Cruz said.

The boy, who was not identified, was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Police didn’t immediately have a suspect.
