Total of 15 people shot. Five dead so far. Four people, plus the gunman - DEAD. Gunman went to the "cardio" room, turned out the lights, and started firing.

Okay...the local news is reporting this whole tragedy is based on a domestic dispute. The gun man, who is dead, was dumped by his girlfriend. He knew that she would be working out there tonight. He came there to kill her or harm her, and anyone else in the way. Oh, another person just died, too...so that makes 6 dead total.

The commander of the Allegheny County Police was just interviewed live and he stated FOUR confirmed dead, and the domestic dispute could not be confirmed.

NOW, this is a great example when every asks "where is a good safe area to live" to say that ANYTHING can happen ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

I've only heard mention of it on CNN, but no real news. KDKA and WPXI weren't doing constant coverage when I checked.

I'm learning here it was a domestic, which I suspected when I heard the news.
