 Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Thursday, November sixth, twenty twenty-five.

We begin today’s roundup with breaking news: yesterday afternoon, a shooting in Bedford Dwellings brought a heavy police and SWAT presence to the 2500 block of Bedford Avenue. A woman was found at the scene with a gunshot wound to the leg and is now in stable condition at UPMC. Police quickly located a suspect who had retreated to a third-floor apartment with a three-year-old child. The situation was tense but ended peacefully with the man surrendering to authorities and the child unharmed. The investigation continues, with detectives piecing together what led up to the incident.

From downtown, all eyes are on city hall after Tuesday’s election brought Corey O’Connor to the mayor’s office. At his South Side victory party, O’Connor promised to prioritize safety, responsible development, and opportunities for all our kids. Pittsburgh’s city budget will be front and center in his transition, with talks already happening to address dwindling property tax revenue and the shrinking rainy day fund. Expect O’Connor to announce new police leadership and key appointments in the coming weeks. His approach to housing leans toward revitalization and support for all neighborhoods, and many are watching to see how these changes take shape.

Election night was a blue wave for the region, with Democrats winning major local contests and nearly forty-five percent voter turnout – much higher than past off-year elections. Sara Innamorato, our county executive, said the new slate is serious about governing and helping neighbors. Historic wins also reached Jeannette, where the city elected its first woman mayor.

Let’s check today’s weather. After days of soaking rain and gusty winds, we’re getting a break with clear skies, lots of sunshine, and highs around fifty-eight degrees. It’s a great day to get outside; but hold on to your hats, as gusts could pick up in late afternoon. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for colder, wet conditions with the chance of snow showers and wind chills dropping into the twenties.

Over in business news, U.S. Steel, under new ownership by Nippon Steel, announced plans for an eleven billion dollar modernization strategy that should boost jobs and infrastructure. Eos Energy also shared a major new investment for its Pittsburgh operations. That means new hiring is expected in manufacturing and energy sectors – a welcome change as recent shutdowns in retail and restaurants have put hundreds out of work.

On the real estate front, rising interest rates and tighter inventory mean prices are holding steady. Average home sales in October hovered near three hundred thousand dollars, and there’s pressure on city leaders to address affordable housing as demand stays strong.

Sports fans, our Penguins take on the Washington Capitals tonight at PPG Paints Arena – the first puck drops at seven. Pitt football is on a five-game win streak, riding high since early October. Local high schools continue to shine, with Penn Hills bringing home a district trophy in boys’ soccer.

A quick community spotlight: in Squirrel Hill, the Jewish Federation’s ten thousand dollar grant to the local food pantry is helping families make ends meet as SNAP benefit uncertainty drags on.

For upcoming events, don’t miss the Arts Festival in Market Square this weekend and “Jazz Under the Stars” returns to Schenley Plaza Saturday night.

Before we wrap, a reminder: police are alerting residents of a scam, where texts offer thousand-dollar food payments. Be advised – it’s a fraud and officials urge us not to reply or share personal info.
