Armed Suspects in Stolen Vehicles Lead Police Pursuit Across Pittsburgh

Summary: Multiple suspects, reportedly armed and wearing ski masks, were observed in two stolen vehicles—a blue Kia (plate Lincoln Paul Zulu 5147) and a brown Kia Sportage with a bike rack—driving at high speeds through various Pittsburgh neighborhoods. The suspects evaded police, ran through red lights, and intentionally tried to provoke pursuit. During the chase, an officer was injured after being struck by a vehicle. The pursuit covered several locations, including Zone 1, Brighton Road, Federal Street, North Canal Street, Green Tree Road, Parkway Center, Woodruff Street, and Brownsville Road, before being terminated due to the suspects driving the wrong way on Route 51. The incident posed significant risk to officers and the public.
