Five dead, three wounded after mass shooting in Pittsburgh suburb

Five people have been reported dead after a mass shooting in the Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkingsburg.

At least five people were killed in a mass shooting in the eastern Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkinsburg on Wednesday night.

Three women and a man were killed at the scene of a backyard cookout, with another woman dying at a local hospital.

Three more were reported to be wounded in the shooting, with neighbors saying they heard more than 25 shots.

Dozens of shell casings were found around the scene, where police believe that multiple gunmen opened fire on a backyard party around 11 p.m., shooting victims as they scrambled to get inside.

All four people who died at the scene were found on the back porch by the rear entrance to the house.

"They just want to kill everybody," one woman said after the shooting while crying and lying on the ground, according to thePittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Another witness told WPXI that she had seen four men running from the scene after the explosion of gunfire.

As of midnight no suspects were in custody.

Two male victims were in critical condition at the hospital as of early Thursday morning, with a female in stable condition.
