Officials said the mobile crime unit responded to the scene and the violent crime unit is leading the investigation.

Acrisure Stadium, formerly known as Heinz Field, can fit around 68,400 people inside the stadium. Heinz had been the sponsor for the stadium until July, ending their business with the Steelers after more than two decades.
