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.

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.”
