Mass shooting at a Pittsburgh party leaves two dead

Two young men were killed and at least nine others injured in a mass shooting early Sunday morning in Pittsburgh, police said.

The shooting happened shortly after 12:30 a.m. during a party at a short-term rental property on the city’s North Side, the Pittsburgh Police Department said in a press release.

Police added that the party was attended by up to 200 people, many of whom were underage. No further details about the deceased were provided.

“Up to 50 rounds were fired inside, causing several partygoers to jump out of windows, sustaining injuries such as broken bones and lacerations,” police said. “Several shots were fired outside the house.”

When officers arrived on the scene, gunshots were heard “and a number of young men were observed jogging and driving from the area,” police said.

Evidence is being processed at eight separate crime scenes, police said, and detectives from the office’s major crime unit are speaking to witnesses and reviewing videotapes.
