It took place at about 1 am in the garage\u2019s upper level, according to a local police department Facebook post. It is the latest violent crime to take place in gaming property garages nationwide, according to a recent report from Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Victim in Stable Condition<\/h2>\n

The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment. His condition was unknown as of Sunday. He was reported to be in stable condition on Saturday, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspect was arrested on scene without incident,\u201d Pittsburgh police said in a statement. They added, “The victim and suspect knew each other and there was no immediate danger to the public.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The suspect was not identified by local police. The Pittsburgh police department\u2019s SWAT unit also responded to the garage.<\/p>\n

Earlier Shootings<\/h2>\n

Over the past year, several violent attacks took place at US casino parking garages. Last month, an East Chicago, Ind. shooting took place at a garage at the Ameristar Casino<\/a>. Kwamaine D. Tarver of Tinley Park, Ill., 26, required emergency treatment at a local hospital. But he later died from his wounds.<\/p>\n

Also, in March, Detroit\u2019s Motor City Casino<\/a> parking garage was the scene of a fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man. In February, two men needed hospitalization after getting stabbed several times in a parking garage at the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nev.<\/p>\n

\n

Also, two bandits attacked an elderly man last Christmas Day in a Las Vegas gaming property parking garage before stealing his wallet. The victim of the assault at Sam\u2019s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall was believed to be in his 90s, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In October, Palm Springs, Calif. police officers shot two robbery suspects as they tried to speed away from a parking garage at Agua Caliente Casino. One had just allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

The October incident followed a September shooting at a parking garage at the same gaming property. The earlier violent attack at the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians\u2019-owned casino was investigated as an attempted homicide.<\/p>\n

Last August, a fatal shooting took place at an Emerald Queen Casino garage in Tacoma, Wash. In July, another fatal shooting occurred at Winner\u2019s Way parking garage in Florida\u2019s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
