PITTSBURGH \u2014 Nearly 30 gunshots were fired on busy Brookline Boulevard Saturday<\/a> night. This happened just after 10:30 p.m. outside of a bar called Proof. <\/p>\n

Video from a home a few streets up from Brookline Boulevard caught the moments the gunshots were fired. You can hear one after the next after the next until nearly 30 rounds are fired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the bullets stopped flying, it was discovered that a car had been hit during the barrage of gunfire. The windows were shattered, and bullets pierced the car. No victims were found at the scene, and it\u2019s not clear if anyone was in the car.<\/p>\n

Police sources tell Channel 11, a second car, a rental car, was found shot up in the City\u2019s Beltzhoover neighborhood on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a lot,\u201d Cody Taylor tells Channel 11.\u00a0\u201cIt makes me a little nervous. We walk down here all the time – me, my wife and my daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor lives and works in the area and says his family is always taking walks on the Boulevard to the library.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was scary, it was right here,\u201d said.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re down here all the time.\u00a0I don\u2019t even know what else to say – that\u2019s just wild.\u201d<\/p>\n

Channel 11 went to Allegheny County\u2019s District Attorney to ask about the bar, Proof, where the shooting happened outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolence, drugs, career criminals hang around a particular place,\u201d District Attorney Stephen Zappala said.\u00a0\u201cThose are issues you can expect the Nuisance Bar Task Force will be there. Our guys – they were detailed to this bar.\u201d<\/p>\n

DA Zappala tells Channel 11 that the task force will look at the history of problems at the bar and see what the Liquor Control Board can do with the license.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll make decisions about whether or not something is prosecutable, or we have a problem with the bar owner,\u201d Zappala added. \u201cThat\u2019s the process that\u2019s going on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

We tried to call the bar to talk to the owner, but the number didn\u2019t work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, neighbors and local business owners are meeting with their local councilman and Pittsburgh Public Safety and hosting public meetings in early March, urging the community to say something if they see something.<\/p>\n
