PITTSBURGH: At least three students were injured in a shooting outside the Pittsburgh high school, reports say.
The reports said that the victims were heading to their vehicle after classes ended on Wednesday afternoon.
All three teenagers were shot outside BrashearHigh School as they walked to a vehicle they’d all taken to school earlier in the day, school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said. Nearby residents said they heard seven or eight shots.
The victims’ wounds appeared to be non-life-threatening, both Pugh and police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, though their descriptions of the wounds differed slightly.
Pugh said two students were grazed in the head and one was shot in both the foot and arm. Richard said one was grazed in the neck and shoulder, but not the head. Two are 17 and one is 16.
According to Washington Post Richard said police believe the shooting might stem from a drug-related fight between some students last month. She didn’t immediately provide more details.
