SHERADEN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a 4-year-old girl was shot in the head and two adults wounded by gunfire in Pittsburgh, but all are reported in stable condition.

Police said the circumstances of the 3:40 a.m. Sunday shooting in the Sheraden neighborhood weren’t immediately clear.

A 4-year-old girl shot in the head was taken to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. A 57-year-old woman with multiple gunshot wounds was taken to Allegheny General Hospital and a 23-year-old man with minor gunshot injuries was taken to UPMC Presbyterian.

A minivan sped from the scene across a bridge to the city’s North Side, where it crashed into a utility pole and three men fled. One was arrested near train tracks and the other two in backyards of homes. A gun believed to have been used was recovered.
