Pittsburgh police looking for "person of interest" in Downtown shooting
Police released photos of the man they're looking for, and they're asking for the public's help in order to locate and identify him. He's being called a person of interest.
The shooting, which took place in the area of Penn Avenue and Garrison Place, left two people injured. Penn Avenue was closed as police investigated.
A woman was shot on the sidewalk in the lower leg, while a man was shot in the arm and the leg. He was located a block away.
Police say the suspect ran down Garrison Place toward Liberty Avenue.
"No one wants to see violence of any kind in our neighborhoods, especially acts that put lives at risk," Mayor Ed Gainey said, in part, in a statement. "Let me be clear: there is no place for this kind of behavior in our city."

Lawsuit by 1983 NC State players against NCAA over NIL compensation dismissed by North Carolina judge
A lawsuit filed by members of the 1983 North Carolina State men's basketball national championship team was dismissed by a North Carolina judge on Thursday. Ten players from the 1983 Wolfpack sued the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company in June 2024 for unauthorized use of their names, images and likenesses. The plaintiffs sought a jury trial and "reasonable compensation" for earnings tied to the NCAA's use of the players and their names in videos and images in promoting college basketball and the NCAA tournament without their consent. The suit alleged that the NCAA continues to generate revenue without properly compensating the athletes with NIL earnings. In a 44-page ruling, Superior Court Judge Mark A. Davis said that the lawsuit was filed too late. 'Because their claims are untimely, barred by their failure to allege a violation of a legally enforceable right, and preempted by the federal Copyright Act, dismissal of this action in its entirety is appropriate,' Davis wrote in his judgment, via The Athletic. Thurl Bailey, Alvin Battle, Walt Densmore, Tommy DiNardo, Terry Gannon, George McClain, Cozell McQueen, Walter Proctor, Harold Thompson and Mike Warren were the 10 players from the 1983 "Cardiac Pack" team listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The players not involved in the lawsuit were Dereck Whittenburg, who currently works in the NC State athletic department, and Sidney Lowe, now an assistant coach with the NBA's Detroit Pistons. Additionally, Lorenzo Charles, who made the game-winning shot in the national title game for the 1983 Wolfpack and died in a 2011 bus accident, was not a part of the proceedings. Charles' dunk, which finished off a desperation shot by Whittenburg, is replayed frequently each year during the NCAA tournament. 'We are proud of these Cardiac Pack players who stood up in the national fight for justice against a system that colludes to exploit young and often vulnerable student athletes,' said Raleigh, North Carolina attorney Stacy Miller, who represented the NC State players, in a statement to WRAL. 'The court definitively examined and dismissed the claims, not only as untimely, but also finding that there is no enforceable right of publicity in game broadcasts and that federal Copyright law would preempt any such right if there were one,' the NCAA responded in a statement to The Athletic. Coached by the legendary Jim Valvano, NC State upset Houston 54–52 in the 1983 NCAA tournament national championship game.

Video shows police sergeant grabbing teen by neck in Rockland County
A Haverstraw police sergeant is on leave after he was seen grabbing a teenager by the neck. The incident was caught on surveillance video. It happened just after 10 p.m. Sunday outside a bodega along Broadway in Downtown Haverstraw. Surveillance footage shows young people hanging out on the sidewalk after the town's United Latin Festival and Parade. Police were also on the scene, urging many of them to go home. That's when an exchange between an officer and a 17-year-old turns violent. The unidentified Haverstraw police sergeant is seen grabbing the teen by the neck, pushing him against a store window. That sergerant is now on paid administrative leave, according to Town Supervisor Howard T. Phillips. "The actions he took were completely inappropriate," Phillips said. Phillips says there were 59 arrests that took place Sunday, including the 17-year-old. Many of those arrests, he said, were for disorderly conduct. Phillips says while police had their hands full that night, he maintains the sergeant was out of line. Confusion over whether the teen had a gun led to the significant police response outside the bodega, he said. "One of the officers' clips came out of his holster, fell on the ground. With that, another officer yelled, 'Gun,'" Phillips said. Witness Jean Poulard, who can seen in the footage just feet away from the altercation, claims the sergeant was triggered by what the teen told him. "The kid told him straight up, 'You're not my father,' and the cop lost it and basically did what he did," Poulard said. With an active investigation underway, Haverstraw Police did respond to CBS News New York's requests for comment. We were referred to the town's public information officer, but were told he is on vacation.
