Police: Shooting Reported At Brashear High School

I did a search and didn't find that anyone had posted this yet. My little sister-in-law and cousins go to this school. My cousin was driving out of the parking lot as she heard the shots being fired. 3 people injured from what I know, no deaths. Searching the wooded areas around the school for one possible shooter.


Edited to add: Police are searching the nearby woods for multiple gunmen, possibly as many as three.


It was only 1 suspected gunmen, now up to 3 possibly.

There's a mass shooting (4 or more people) almost every single day in the US its not even surprising news any more.

What's really odd to me is that since these gigantic pushes for gun control have increased, so have the mass shootings increased with them...

That is very telling in itself...

You're right. Like the one that happened in Detroit that no media outlets seemed to care about because well.. it's Detroit. I understand that they happen more often than not, but that doesn't make it any less serious.

here is a list of some including schools shootings just last year...

Here is a list of every fatal mass shooting that’s taken place since January 1—defined as multi-victim shootings where those killed were chosen indiscriminately. The tragedies took place at perfectly random places—at churches, movie theatres, soccer tournaments, spas, courthouses and, now, an elementary school. But given the frequency of these awful events, perhaps in the long view their occurrence isn’t so random after all—it’s predictable. February 22, 2012—Five people were killed in at a Korean health spa in Norcross, Georgia, when a man opened fire inside the facility in an act suspected to be related to domestic violence. February 26, 2012—Multiple gunmen began firing into a nightclub crown in Jackson, Tennessee, killing one person and injuring 20 others. February 27, 2012—Three students at Chardon High School in rural Ohio were killed when a classmate opened fire.

April 2, 2012—A 43-year-old former student at Oikos University in Oakland, California, walked into his former school and killed seven people, “execution-style.” Three people were wounded. April 6, 2012—Two men went on a deadly shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shooting black men at random in an apparently racially motivated attack. Three men died and two were wounded. May 29, 2012—A man in Seattle, Washington, opened fire in a coffee shop and killed five people and then himself. July 9, 2012—At a soccer tournament in Wilmington, Delaware, three people were killed, including a 16-year-old player and the event organizer, when multiple gunmen began firing shots, apparently targeting the organizer. July 20, 2012—James Holmes enters a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises and opens fire with a semi-automatic weapon; twelve people are killed and fifty-eight are wounded. August 5, 2012—A white supremacist and former Army veteran shot six people to death inside a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before killing himself. August 14, 2012—Three people were killed at Texas A&M University when a 35-year-old man went on a shooting rampage; one of the dead was a police officer. September 27, 2012—A 36-year-old man who had just been laid off from Accent Signage Systems in Minneapolis, Minnesota, entered his former workplace and shot five people to death, and wounded three others before killing himself. October 21, 2012—45-year-old Radcliffe Frankin Haughton shot three women to death, including his wife, Zina Haughton, and injured four others at a spa in Brookfield, Wisconsin, before killing himself. December 11, 2012—A 22-year-old began shooting at random at a mall near Portland, Oregon, killing two people and then himself. December 14, 2012—One man, and possibly more, murders a reported twenty-six people at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, including twenty children, before killing himself.

I am from Pittsburgh. My sources inside the Pittsburgh Police Department say this is GANG related.

So it is not a random shooting by a crazed killer. Instead, it was a gang fight that was carried on from October when another incident occurred.

But, I will bet the media outlets will try to milk this one for all it is worth. It doesn't quite fit the narrative but they will make it fit.

Well, looks like someone has been arrested for this shooting.

Student charged after 3 injured in shooting outside Pittsburgh high school

Authorities say a 16-year-old student has been charged with shooting and injuring three students as they headed to their cars outside of Brashear High School in Pittsburgh Wednesday afternoon.
[The suspect] awaited arraignment on four counts each of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. He's also charged with illegally possessing a gun as a juvenile.
Police say [the suspect] apparently shot the three students and shot at a fourth in retaliation for beating him in a drug-related robbery inside the school last month. Police Lt. Kevin Kraus says school police investigated the Oct. 18 robbery but couldn't file charges because [the suspect] wouldn't identify his attackers, telling police he wished to settle matters himself.

So, this was a retaliation for getting beaten up in a botched drug deal a few weeks ago? And, the weapon used was illegally in his possession? Why does this not surprising, considering the criminal history of this school.

On the record In the past school year, Brashear High School officials reported 138 offenders involved in 97 incidents, including three simple assaults on students, 47 fights, two thefts, two bullying cases, nine small weapon possessions, one case of vandalism, one criminal trespass, 13 controlled substance uses and 19 students caught smoking or selling cigarettes. No guns were involved and none resulted in either arrest or intervention with local law enforcement.

I guess the school has now "graduated" with this incident.
