The unnamed victim was taken to a local hospital. Earlier on the weekend, he was listed in stable condition, police said. But Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Amanda Mueller described his injuries as \u201csevere stab wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Monday, Pittsburgh police did not reveal the victim’s current condition. Nor is it clear if the apprehended person is to be charged. The incident took place at about 8:30 pm Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh police department\u2019s Major Crimes unit has taken over the investigation.<\/p>\n

Pistol-Whipping of Player<\/h2>\n

The Pittsburgh casino has been linked to other violent crimes in recent months. In February, an elderly man who drove home from Rivers Casino Pittsburgh was pistol-whipped<\/a> and robbed of his winnings in front of his Aspinwall, Pa. residence.<\/p>\n

A suspected assailant, Jaimeca Johnson<\/a>, a 28-year-old woman of Forest Hills, Pa., was charged. Her case is still believed to be pending in local court.<\/p>\n

\n

As he entered his driveway, Johnson allegedly pointed a gun at him and threatened to shoot him. She then struck him with the firearm, stole about $1,500 from his pocket, and fled from the neighborhood, police revealed. The unnamed 66-year-old victim suffered head and face injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Johnson was identified as a suspect and then charged with carrying a firearm without a license, recklessly endangering another person, and other charges connected to the robbery, media reports said.<\/p>\n

In an earlier incident, an unnamed man was arrested in August 2021. That was following the shooting of another man in the Rivers Casino parking garage, according to Pittsburgh police and local media. The victim suffered leg injuries during the shooting. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Details on the crime were not released at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Virginia Gaming Complex<\/h2>\n

Rush Street Gaming manages Rivers Casino. The Chicago-based company operates Rivers casinos in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New York. The company is also scheduled to open a $300 million resort in Virginia next year.<\/p>\n

\n

Rivers Casino Portsmouth<\/a> will likely open its doors with seven eating and drinking establishments. The property\u2019s marquee restaurant will be Admiral\u2019s Steak & Seafood<\/a>, a fine-dining steakhouse serving a selection of prime cuts of meat and fresh seafood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rivers Casino Portsmouth in Virginia\u2019s Hampton Roads region says construction remains on schedule. That\u2019s despite supply chain disruptions and labor shortages caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
