PITTSBURGH \u2014 Community leaders are trying to come up with a solution after rowdy teens crowded outside the front of the East Liberty Target just a week after a group attacked a woman outside another store in the same neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re working hard on a solution. We are working diligently,\u201d Pittsburgh city councilman Khari Moseley told Channel 11. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a little bit of back and forth\u2026 and I understand there was an object thrown at the constable, but he was not struck with it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Even though this incident didn\u2019t end with violence or destruction, Channel 11 has recently reported on teens causing problems in the city. <\/p>\n

And for the last several months, we\u2019ve reported on frequent teenage violence in Market Square that resulted in the city implementing a curfew. <\/p>\n
Moseley told Channel 11 that several different city organizations are working to find spaces for kids to gather without getting into trouble. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll at the table to try to figure out what do we need to do to create spaces that are engaging and enticing and bring kids in for productive recreation,\u201d he <\/p>\n
