Four men are alleged to have been involved in a shootout Sunday afternoon at a business in Pittsburgh’s South Side Flats neighborhood.

Police said officers received an alert just before 3 p.m. of three rounds fired in the 2100 block of Wharton Street.

Officers arrived to find that the windows at a clothing store had been shot out.

According to police, witnesses inside the store said two men came in and started shooting at two other men who were inside and fired back.

Police said the two men who came into the store fled in a silver car. The men who had been inside the store went out the back exit and down Carson Street.

Although there were early reports that a woman had been shot, police said no victims have been reported at area hospitals.

Police are reviewing camera footage as part of their investigation.
