About 200 people were present during a party at Airbnb in Pittsburgh’s East Allegheny area. This is when the shooting started on Sunday morning.
Two people died and eight were injured in a mass shooting. Two victims that encountered death were juveniles.
The victims were identified as 17-year-old Mathey Steffy-Ross of Pitcaim, and Jaiden Brown of the exact age, according to Allegheny County Medical Examiner.
Pittburgh’s news channel showed the bullet holes in Airbnb rental property at Madison Avenue and Suismon Street.
A car that was parked across the street, had a shattered glass-window, and had bullet holes.
Around 12:30 a.m., Zone 1 officers responded to multiple ShotSpotter warnings in the 800 block of Suismon Street, according to police.
As first responders arrived on the scene, further shots were fired, and numerous young individuals were spotted fleeing, they said.
“The initial investigation reveals a large party was being held at the short-term rental property, with as many as 200 people in attendance, many of them underage,” police said in a statement.
It continued, “As many as 50 rounds were fired inside, prompting some party-goers to jump out the windows, sustaining injuries such as broken bones and lacerations. Several more shots were fired outside the home.”
Police have reported the deaths of two juveniles including 10 victims with gun shots.
Hundreds of people tried to escape the apartment, owing to which 5 additional people have been injured.
Investigators gathered the evidence from a few blocks in the East Allegheny neighborhood.
According to police, gunshot victims were taken to hospitals by EMS.
There is no information on any suspects by the police.
Detectives are speaking to witnesses and reviewing video footage.
The family who stayed downstairs told that they left and went to a hotel realizing something peculiar.
The owner of downstairs, Stephen Long says, “Two hundred people is a lot. There’s usually a limit. For Airbnb, we would do, maybe, six to eight guests maximum, so I’m not sure how 200 people got in upstairs being undetected.”
