Two minors have been killed and several others are being treated in Pittsburgh for gunshot injuries following reports of multiple shots fired at an Airbnb on the southeast side of the city, police said.
"Multiple shots have been fired in East Allegheny with several gunshot victims," Pittsburgh Public Safety said in a statement, calling the ongoing situation a "very active scene."
Moments later, Public Safety said at least 11 victims were transported to a local hospital, where the two victims were pronounced deceased. Several others received injuries as a result of escaping what is believed to be a singular shooter who fired 50 rounds inside and outside the home. There were reportedly more than 200 people at the party, many underage, at the time of the shooting incident, WTAE reported.
