A juvenile has been arrested after Pittsburgh police recovered a gun in the South Side.

Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said officers responded to South Second Street and Sidney Street in the area of Ormsby Pool for a report of shots fired around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police said witnesses told them two groups of juveniles were involved in an altercation when a gun was spotted on one of the boys.

Officers located a boy matching the description of one of the juveniles at South 23rd and Wharton streets.

Cruz said as officers were questioning the boy, police found a loaded firearm with an extended clip hidden along a fence at that location.

The boy was taken into custody. No injuries were reported and no shots were fired.

The pool was evacuated as a precaution.

Cruz said the investigation is ongoing. No further information was released.
