Summary
At least five people, including the gunman, were shot and killed during a shooting spree at a fitness center near Pittsburgh, according to media reports. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on its website that a man with a duffel bag walked into an L.A. Fitness Center in Collier Township and began firing. Eyewitnesses said a man came through a back door and turned off the lights in an exercise room before opening fire. Media reports also say that five people were killed and up to another 10 wounded. One witness he was by the exercise room when he heard the shots go off. I was standing right by the free weights, right by the aerobics room and I just kept hearing shots. About 30 shots and I had just seen people running all around and I just started ducking down, running for my life. It was one of the scariest things I have ever seen, the witness said. Police believe the shooter is among the dead. It is not known at this point what his connection is to the health club.
