Pittsburgh Mass Shooting – Two young men were killed and at least nine others injured in a mass shooting early Sunday in Pittsburgh, police said.
The shooting happened just after 12:30 a.m. during a party at a short-term rental property in the city’s North Side, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police said in a news release. Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert said multiple shooters were suspected due to different shell casings found at the scene, NBC affiliate WPXI reported.
The two people killed in the incident were juveniles and were not identified by police. Eight others were shot and five more sustained injuries not related to gunshots in the incident, according to police.
The party was attended by as many as 200 people, many of whom were underage, police added. A shotspotter, an automated detection system that alerts law enforcement to gunshots, prompted the initial police response.

Matthew Steffy-Ross, 17, of Pitcairn, and Jaiden Brown, 17, whose home of record is not listed by the medical examiner’s office, were both transported from the scene where they were pronounced dead according to reports.

Almost everyone is paying tribute to them while sending their deep condolence to their family so that, their strength could remain ahead to bear the pain of losing an integral part of their family. Even their close ones are supporting them in this hard time as well, because no one would like to see their close ones pass away in front of their eyes. So we will also pray may their souls’ rest in peace, and will pray for their family as well so that, their strength could remain ahead (RIP Joss and Jaiden Brown)
“As many as 50 rounds were fired inside, prompting some partygoers to jump out the windows, sustaining injuries such as broken bones and lacerations,” police said. “Several more shots were fired outside the home.”
