A vehicle connected to a shooting in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, Feb. 14, was later discovered in Butler, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety.

The shooting resulted in one man being shot in the foot just after 11 p.m. at the Greyhound bus station at 11th and Penn streets, according to a news release.

Pittsburgh police said the man got off a bus from New York and attempted to get into a waiting vehicle when an altercation took place with others in the vehicle. According to police, the man did not know the occupants.
