Police: 2 men injured after altercation led to shooting in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH'S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT FOUR STARTS NOW. WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS THIS AFTERNOON. A TRUCK CRASHING RIGHT INTO A HOME IN NORTH VERSAILLES. THIS IS THE SCENE RIGHT NOW ON LINCOLN HIGHWAY. YOU CAN SEE THAT TRUCK, WHICH APPEARS TO BE A WORK VEHICLE OF SOME KIND, ALMOST FULLY INSIDE THE HOME. LOTS OF DAMAGE DONE TO THAT BUILDING. ANOTHER CAR WITH VISIBLE DAMAGE IS BEING TOWED AWAY FROM THAT SCENE. DISPATCH TELLS US TWO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. WE WILL BRING YOU ALL THE UPDATES ON AIR AS WE LEARN MORE FROM THE SCENE. WITH THAT, WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON FOUR AT FOUR. I'M MIKE CLARK AND I'M KELLY SASSO. HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING, STARTING WITH YOUR TOP FOUR STORIES AT 4:00 TODAY, THREE TORNADOES NOW CONFIRMED IN OUR AREA FROM THIS WEEKEND. STORMS TODAY, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONFIRMED TWO TORNADOES IN BUTLER COUNTY, ONE NEAR THE NORTH SHORE OF MORAINE STATE PARK, ANOTHER IN BRADY TOWNSHIP. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE ONE IN BEAVER FALLS THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT YESTERDAY. ALSO THIS AFTERNOON, A MAN FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS FOR TRYING TO STAB A MAN TO DEATH IN SHADYSIDE. JASPER HILLIARD RANDOMLY STABBED A MAN BACK IN 2023. HE WAS CONVICTED OF ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE. REPORTER YASMIN RODRIGUEZ SPOKE TO THE VICTIM AND WILL JOIN US LIVE IN A FEW MINUTES WITH MORE. ALSO, PITTSBURGH CITY COUNCIL WILL BE VOTING ON SETTLEMENTS FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE FERN HOLLOW BRIDGE COLLAPSE. RESOLUTIONS WERE READ IN CITY COUNCIL TODAY BEFORE A CLOSED DOOR BRIEFING. COUNCIL COULD HOLD A FINAL VOTE LATER THIS MONTH AND NO ACID REACHED THE CREEK AFTER A CHEMICAL SPILL AT THE COUNTY. THERE WAS A LEAK AT ONE OF THEIR TANKS EARLIER THIS MORNING. BOTH CLEVELAND-CLIFFS AND HAZMAT CREWS TELL US THEY WERE ABLE TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE BEFORE IT REACHED THE WATER. AND THOSE ARE YOUR TOP STORIES ON THIS TUESDAY. TIME NOW FOR PITTSBURGH'S ACTION WEATHER METEOROLOGIST BRIAN HUTTON JUNIOR IS HERE WITH US, WHERE ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE STORMS ON THE HORIZON. LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY IS NOW AN ALERT DAY BECAUSE OF THIS. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE A ROUGH MORNING ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. WE'LL SEE. PLENTY OF HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL FOR SOME STORMS AS WELL, AND FLOODING IN KIND OF THE PRIMARY CONCERN AT THIS POINT, BUT ALSO SEEING SOME STRONG WINDS FROM ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP. AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, THURSDAY IS A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY. OUR MAIN TIMING IS FROM MIDNIGHT TO ABOUT 8:00 ON THURSDAY MORNING. AGAIN, DAMAGING WIND, HEAVY RAIN AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT, AND LOCALIZED FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU SEE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL. IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE WINDY THROUGH THE DAY. THE WIND WILL STAY UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, SO WE'LL WATCH SCATTERED SHOWERS LATE TOMORROW DEVELOP. WE COULD SEE A QUICK ROUND TOMORROW BEFORE SUNRISE AS WELL, BEFORE THE HEAVIEST RAIN STARTS ROLLING IN. ONCE WE GET PAST MIDNIGHT. AND THEN AGAIN, THERE COULD BE A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. THAT WINDOW LIKELY MAINLY AFTER ABOUT 4:00. AND AS WE GET THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE, THE HEAVIEST RAIN AND STORMS WILL SHIFT SOUTH AND EAST OF PITTSBURGH BEFORE THEY EXIT. ONCE WE GET PAST ABOUT EIGHT, 9:00 AND THEN WE WILL SEE WINDY CONDITIONS AS WE CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON. SO TOMORROW IS MAINLY DRY. WE'LL WATCH FOR A SHOWER CHANCE EARLY AND LATE AT 8083 FOR US ON THURSDAY ON OUR SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY. WE DO TRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES. IT'S 77 FOR JUNETEENTH AND ALSO FOR SATURDAY BEFORE MORE RAIN CHANCES RETURN TO START NEXT WEEK. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NOW CREWS IN BUTLER COUNTY ARE CLEANING UP AN ACID LEAK NEAR THE CREEK. THIS LEAK CAME FROM THE CLEVELAND-CLIFFS PLANT IN BUTLER TOWNSHIP AT ABOUT 630 THIS MORNING. WE SPOKE WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR WHO HANDLED THE RESPONSE. HE SAID THEY DID TESTING AND THE ACID DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE CREEK ITSELF. IT WAS JUST AN ACID SLURRY. I BELIEVE THEY COME OUT OF THEIR PICKLING PROCESS. ONCE OUR TEAM WAS IN, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT A PLUG IN WHERE THE HOLE WAS AT AND SLOW IT DOWN. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO COMPLETELY STOP IT, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO SLOW THE LEAK TO KEEP IT FROM GETTING ANY WORSE. IT'S CONSIDERABLY SLOWED IT DOWN. PRETTY. PRETTY MUCH TO A TO A TRICKLE. A CONTRACTOR IS NOW ON SITE TO HELP WITH THE MITIGATION, AND NO ONE WAS HURT. CLEVELAND-CLIFFS SAYS THE SPILL WAS CONTAINED WITHIN ITS FACILITY. THEY SAY THEY ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THE CLEANUP AND THEY SAY THIS DID NOT CAUSE PRODUCTION TO BE IMPACTED. ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY FROM A HOUSE FIRE IN PITTSBURGH'S HOMEWOOD SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD. FIRE BROKE OUT LATE THIS MORNING HERE ON BENNETT STREET. OUR CREWS FOUND VISIBLE DAMAGE DONE TO THE ROOF OF THAT BUILDING. WE ARE MAKING CALLS NOW, WORKING TO LEARN THE CONDITION OF THE PERSON WHO WAS HURT. WELL, THIS IS A SIGHT PITTSBURGHERS WILL CERTAINLY NEVER FORGET. THE FERN HOLLOW BRIDGE COLLAPSING, TAKING MULTIPLE CARS, EVEN A BUS DOWN WITH IT. REMARKABLY, NOBODY WAS KILLED HERE. BUT THE SURVIVING VICTIMS ARE NOW TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE CITY. REPORTER MARCIE CIPRIANI IS JOINING US LIVE AT THE BRIDGE. AND, MARCY, THERE WAS SOME MOVEMENT WITH THESE LAWSUITS TODAY. THAT'S RIGHT. KELLY, AFTER NEARLY FOUR AND A HALF YEARS, IT WAS JANUARY 2022 WHEN THE FERN HOLLOW BRIDGE HERE COLLAPSED ON A SNOWY MORNING IN COUNCIL TODAY, RESOLUTIONS WERE READ THAT COULD APPROVE A $445,000 SETTLEMENT. EACH RESOLUTION WAS READ ALLOWED INSIDE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBERS MET WITH THE CITY SOLICITOR BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBLE AGREEMENT. TEN PEOPLE ORIGINALLY FILED SUIT WHEN THE FERN HOLLOW BRIDGE COLLAPSED, CLAIMING THE MORE THAN 400 FOOT LONG BRIDGE HAD BEEN DETERIORATING FOR YEARS BEFORE IT FELL JUST AFTER 6:30 A.M. JANUARY 28TH, 2022. THE AGREEMENT, BEFORE COUNCIL WOULD AWARD NINE OF THE TEN WHO WERE ON THE BRIDGE, INCLUDING PRT BUS DRIVER DARRYL LUCIANI, WHO WILL RECEIVE THE LARGEST PART OF THE AWARD $90,000 IF IT IS APPROVED. WE SPOKE TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT DANIEL LAVELLE ABOUT THE PAST FOUR YEARS SINCE THE COLLAPSE. IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS, BUT I'M SURE IT'S BEEN A MUCH MORE FRUSTRATING PROCESS FOR THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMS OF THE COLLAPSE THAN IT HAS BEEN FOR US AT THE PUBLIC. WELL, MARCY, YOU MENTIONED TEN LAWSUITS ORIGINALLY, BUT ONLY NINE ARE LISTED IN THE POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY? KELLY, WE WERE ASKING THAT VERY QUESTION. IN FACT, I ASKED THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER BEFORE THEY WENT INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, AND BOTH TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT SURE, BUT THEY WOULD FIND OUT DURING THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION AND LET ME KNOW. WELL, AFTERWARDS THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE TOLD NOT TO TALK PUBLICLY AT THIS POINT. SO AT THIS POINT, IT'S UNCLEAR. I ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THAT PERSON'S ATTORNEY AS WELL TO FIND OUT, BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK. COUNCIL MEMBERS TELL ME THEY EXPECT TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS SETTLEMENT IN THE COMING WEEKS. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FROM REGENT SQUARE MARCIE CIPRIANI PITTSBURGH'S ACTION NEWS FOUR. MARCY. THANKS. PART OF THE PARKWAY NORTH WAS CLOSED OVERNIGHT, NOT BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION, BUT FOR A RESCUE OPERATION. PUBLIC WORKS OFFICIALS SAY A CONTRACTOR FELL FROM UNDER THE UNDERDECK OF THE JACKS RUN ROAD BRIDGE. THAT'S THE BRIDGE THAT RUNS OVER TOWNSHIP. CREWS WERE INSTALLING SHIELDING AT THE TIME. WE KNOW MEDICS TOOK THAT WORKER TO THE HOSPITAL. THAT WAS PART OF THAT. PART OF THE PARKWAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CLOSED OVERNIGHT, BUT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF AN EQUIPMENT ISSUE. NOW, CLOSURES ALONG THE INBOUND LANES BETWEEN CAMP HORNE ROAD AND THE MCKNIGHT ONRAMP WILL BEGIN TOMORROW NIGHT. CREWS WILL BE WORKING OVERNIGHT FROM 9 P.M. THROUGH 5 A.M. THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. AND NEW THIS AFTERNOON. U.S. REPRESENTATIVE SUMMER LEE IS CALLING FOR ICE REFORM IN THE WAKE OF THE DEATH OF AN ASYLUM SEEKER FROM HAITI. AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM ICE CUSTODY IN MARCH, DAFFY MICHEL WAS FOUND UNRESPONSIVE AT A BUS STOP ON PITTSBURGH'S SOUTH SIDE, WHERE SHE HAS SPENT MORE THAN 30 HOURS. CONGRESSWOMAN LEE SAYS THERE WERE A SERIES OF FAILURES THAT LED TO HER DEATH, EVEN WHEN SHE WAS PICKED UP, SHE DIDN'T HAVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT AND ACCESS. SHE DIDN'T HAVE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND ACCESS. HER FAMILY WASN'T NOTIFIED. AND WHEN SHE WHEN THEY SENT HER AND THEY LEFT HER, THEY ESSENTIALLY DISCARDED, YOU KNOW, THIS HUMAN BEING. THEY DISCARDED THIS WOMAN WHO WHO DID NOT KNOW WHERE SHE WAS, HAD NO SUPPORT STRUCTURES. LAST WEEK, THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER RULED MICHEL'S DEATH A HOMICIDE. ICE SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER DEATH. GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS FOR A RANDOM STABBING IN PITTSBURGH, SHADY SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD THREE YEARS AGO. JASPER HILLIARD STABBED AN OLDER MAN WHILE HE WAS OUT FOR A WALK, AND TODAY THAT MAN WAS CONVICTED OF ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE, AMONG FOUR OTHER CHARGES. REPORTER YASMIN RODRIGUEZ WAS IN COURT TODAY AND JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE TO THIS STORY. YASMIN, YOU SPOKE WITH THE VICTIM OF THIS ATTACK TODAY. MIKE THAT'S RIGHT. LIKE YOU MENTIONED, JASPER HILLIARD WAS FOUND GUILTY ON ALL FIVE CHARGES IN THE VICTIM IN ALL OF THIS, L KARLSSON SAYS HE'S VERY HAPPY WITH TODAY'S OUTCOME. NOW HE SAYS HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO SENTENCING WHEN THIS CHAPTER CAN CLOSE. SO THIS ALL STEMS BACK FROM JUNE OF 2023, WHEN THEN 21 YEAR OLD JASPER HILLIARD STABBED AL CARLSON IN THE NECK AND BACK, ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS. HILLIARD TOLD POLICE HE TOLD CARLSON OUT OF, QUOTE, CONVENIENCE. NEIGHBORS WHO LIVED NEARBY CALLED 911, AND CARLSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, WHERE IT TOOK WEEKS TO RECOVER FROM MULTIPLE SURGERIES. AND DURING HILLIARD'S TRIAL, A DOCTOR TESTIFIED THAT AT THE TIME OF THE STABBING, HE WAS UNDER A DRUG INDUCED PSYCHOSIS. BUT CARLSON SAYS WHILE THAT MAY BE TRUE, HE BELIEVES HILLIARD KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE WAS UNDER DRUGS. BUT LIKE I SAID, HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF BOTH. YASMIN, I UNDERSTAND YOU ALSO SPOKE WITH THE ATTORNEY FOR JASPER HILLIARD. WHAT DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT TODAY'S GUILTY VERDICT? YEAH, MICHAEL, THAT ATTORNEY, FRANK WALKER, HE SAYS HE CALLS THE OUTCOME TODAY DISAPPOINTING, BUT HE SAYS THIS IS FAR FROM OVER. NOW, SOMETHING HE DID EXPRESS WAS HIS CLIENT'S STATE OF MIND. DURING THE TRIAL. WE WILL GET INTO THAT MORE AT FIVE. BUT FOR NOW, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY. IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, YASMIN RODRIGUEZ, PITTSBURGH'S ACTION NEWS FOUR. ALL CHARGES WERE WAIVED FOR COURT AGAINST THE MAN, POLICE SAY. ATTACKED A WOMAN ON THE HERITAGE TRAIL IN MURRYSVILLE. OUR CAMERAS WERE AT THE COURTHOUSE TODAY WHEN COLTON STENNETT MADE HIS PRELIMINARY APPEARANCE. HE IS CHARGED WITH THE ATTEMPTED RAPE OF A WOMAN ON THE TRAIL EARLIER THIS MONTH. SHE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT HIM OFF AND CALLED POLICE. A SECOND DAY AT THE G7 WORLD LEADERS SUMMIT. FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE FOCUS AGAIN WAS ON THE U.S. IRAN DEAL. STILL NO PUBLIC TEXT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND LAWMAKERS BACK IN WASHINGTON ARE NOW CALLING FOR MORE INFORMATION. THAT'S RIGHT. ABC NEWS REPORTER KAREN TRAVERS IS IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, WITH THE VERY LATEST. PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE G7 WORLD LEADERS SUMMIT, EXPRESSING CONFIDENCE IN THE U.S. IRAN AGREEMENT. WE HAVE A DEAL. THAT'S A FAIR DEAL. IT'S A GOOD DEAL. BUT 48 HOURS AFTER THE DEAL WAS SIGNED DIGITALLY BY THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PUBLIC TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT. I'D LIKE TO GET A FORMAL SENATE FIRST BEFORE WE DO THAT, BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER JOHN THUNE TOLD REPORTERS HE HASN'T SEEN THE AGREEMENT. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT, AND I ASSUME WE WILL AT SOME POINT HEAR FROM THE ADMINISTRATION WITH GREATER SPECIFICITY ABOUT WHAT'S IN THAT MEMORANDUM. SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER DEMANDING TRANSPARENCY AND BRIEFINGS FOR LAWMAKERS. NO ONE QUITE UNDERSTANDS WHAT TRUMP IS UP TO, AND NOW HE'S KEEPING EVERYBODY IN THE DARK. ISRAEL ALSO REQUESTED TO SEE THE AGREEMENT, BUT ACCORDING TO AN ISRAELI SOURCE AND A U.S. OFFICIAL FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER, THAT REQUEST WAS DENIED. SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAY THE DEAL REOPENS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND LIFTS THE U.S. BLOCKADE ON IRANIAN PORTS, BUT THE U.S. AND IRAN ARE GIVING CONFLICTING INFORMATION. THE PRESIDENT INSISTING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL BE A FREE WATERWAY. THE STRAIT IS GOING TO BE OPEN, TOLL FREE, AND IT'S SO FREE BEYOND THE 60 DAYS. BUT SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAY THE DEAL ENSURES IT WILL BE TOLL FREE FOR 60 DAYS. THEN THE ISSUE HAS TO BE RENEGOTIATED. IRAN, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT PLANS TO COLLECT SERVICE FEES IN THE STRAIT, AND THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS OVER FUNDING FOR RECONSTRUCTION IN IRAN, SANCTIONS RELIEF AND THE UNFREEZING OF IRANIAN ASSETS. ISRAEL'S OPERATIONS AGAINST IRANIAN BACKED HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON COULD BE A MAJOR HURDLE TO A FINAL U.S. IRAN DEAL. IRAN SAYS THEY CANNOT MAKE A DEAL TO END THE WAR UNTIL ISRAEL'S FORCES ARE OUT OF LEBANON. BUT THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO STAY THERE AS LONG AS NECESSARY. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THE U.S. IRAN DEAL CAN SURVIVE IF ISRAEL CONTINUES I
