A shooting at a party in Pittsburgh attended by as many as 200 people – many of whom were minors – left two minors dead and eight others injured by gunfire early on Sunday.
At least one of the gunshot victims was just 14 years old, Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott E. Schubert said at a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Schubert did not reveal the identities of the two deceased miners.
Authorities said the shooting happened around midnight at an Airbnb rental property on Suismon Street at Madison Avenue in the city’s East Allegheny neighborhood. Due to the number of people present, the scene was chaotic, Schubert pointed out on several occasions.
“The large majority [at that party] were minors,” he said. Several weapons were also recovered and different casings from several firearms, he said. Police believe multiple shooters were involved.
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said in a statement the city is using “all available resources” to find those responsible for Sunday’s shooting.
So far, no one has been arrested in connection with the shooting, but police are calling on party attendees to provide photos and video to help the investigation.
“It’s our top priority to find out who did this and get them off the streets,” Schubert said.
Investigators were still processing the scene Sunday afternoon. The crime scene is “very complex and very chaotic,” Schubert said.
