Two people were killed and several more were injured in a shooting at a home in Pittsburgh’s East Allegheny neighborhood early Sunday in what the mayor called a “senseless loss of life.”
Up to 200 people — many of them underage — were attending a large party at an Airbnb rental property near the intersection of Suismon Street and Madison Avenue on the North Side when dozens of shots rang out around 12:30 a.m., officials said.
Police Chief Scott Schubert said during a news conference at police headquarters Sunday that an altercation had occurred, and shortly after, “gunshots were exchanged.” The two who were killed were under 18, he said. Eight others were shot, and five more suffered injuries from jumping out of windows, falling down steps or seeking cover.
