PITTSBURGH -- Garry Bankston, an 11-year veteran of the Pittsburgh police force, is in stable condition after being shot in the hip.

The gunfire erupted Monday night along Rhine Street in the Spring Hill neighborhood.

A 17-year-old suspect was also shot.

The incident drew law enforcement officers from a half-dozen city, federal and state agencies.

They included a SWAT team and a state police helicopter.

Police recovered 20 shell casings from the area and they found a 9-mm gun near the injured suspect.

Bankston underwent surgery Tuesday morning.

Officials said the injury is not life-threatening.

Authorities said the weapon recovered near the suspect had been stolen from an individual in Edgewood.

Investigators returned to the housing complex Tuesday to gather more evidence.

+1  Teenagers are not the problem.  
Parents (or the lack there of ) are the ?!&*!*&!$#@!$?! problem!!!!!!!!!!

I thought 9mm rounds were supposed to bounce off when they hit you?  

I realize the person who pulled the trigger is ultimately responsible for this crime.  But I can't help but be pissed off at those gun owners who are not responsible enough to lock up their firearms!  

Not only is a cop and his family messed up by this, but now Bloomberg, Feinstein and Schumer have more ammunition to use against us.  A frickin' tragedy all around.

who said it wasn't locked up? With enough time any lock can be defeated
