PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Two men have been charged in a double shooting in Pittsburgh's Larimer neighborhood.
The victims, a 31-year-old man from Penn Hills and a 37-year-old woman from Monroeville, were shot in the 600-block of Lowell Street while they were inside their SUV, turning onto Rapidan Way at about 6 a.m. Tuesday.
The woman was shot in the back and was last listed in critical condition at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. The man was shot in the leg.
