Agreed. Most recent I heard was 2 dead (including 1 shooter), 6 in surgery, no hostage situation, only 1 shooter (dead).

I first posted over at the 2.3 heist thread at 1:54pm - and that was after hearing sirens for a while since a few sirens aren't usually newsworthy at my place. From the timeline they're giving, it sounds like they knew it was big and came out in full force immediately. Gotta give our police some props for their full on and fast response.

Here's a detailed article on Associated Press: The Associated Press: Gunman sought after Pitt shooting; several injured

Interesting that they have done more research than our local news stations.

So it says that the only people on the first floor are the ER.

Remember us talking about metal detectors in area ERs.

Does anyone know if Western Psych has metal detectors?

You'd think they would since Presby does and it is a psych hospital.

KDKA news says the shooter killed one person before he was killed. So that's two dead, at least 5 injured.

Thank you! I can't listen right now because it'd conflict with other stuff going on on my pc but it's good to have for future reference.

A couple more of those unmarked black vans (like escalade, not swat box) went by just now - headed that direction with sirens on...

Yeah, meanwhile a parents rushed to the Science and Technology school to try to pick up their kids but the children can't leave the school for safety reasons. So those parents are sitting outside in their cars. If there are two shooters, those parents aren't going to do their kids any good if they get shot.
