Pittsburgh — Shots fired at a house party in Pittsburgh early Sunday left two minors dead and at least eight more people wounded, police said.
The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. during a party at a short-term rental property where there were more than 200 people inside — many of them underage, Pittsburgh police said in a news release. Two male victims died at the hospital, police said, and eight more people were being treated for gunshot wounds. A police release initially said nine others were injured, but Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert revised the numbers at a noon press conference.
Others were injured attempting to flee, with at least two people suffering broken bones by jumping out of the building’s windows, authorities said. Shots were still being fired in the area as officers arrived at the scene, with young people fleeing, CBS Pittsburgh reported.
Police said as many as 50 rounds were fired inside and several more were fired outside. Officers were processing evidence at as many as eight separate crime scenes spanning a few blocks around the shooting scene.
The names of the two youths who died weren’t immediately released. No arrests were immediately reported and police didn’t immediately release information about any suspects.
Windows are shot out on the second floor of the short-term rental property in Pittsburgh early in the morning on Sunday, April 17, 2022.
