A shooting at an LA Fitness gym outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, killed five people and wounded as many as 15 on Tuesday, a local official said.

The shooter is among the fatalities, said Gary Vituccio, manager of Collier Township.

Allegheny General Hospital reported receiving two wounded patients at its trauma center, Mercy Hospital had six and St. Clair had one. No other details were immediately available.

Perry Calabro of nearby Bridgeville said he was between racquetball games at the gym when he suddenly heard screaming and multiple gunshots. He said he ran out and didn't see the gunman or others.

Witnesses told CNN affiliate WTAE that a man unrecognized by the gym's staff shot people in a Latin dance class.

A witness identified as Nicole told WTAE that about 30 women were in the class when "a middle-aged white male walked into the class. He had a big gym bag."

"He looked out of place in a class full of women," according to the witness, who told WTAE the man put down the bag, turned off the lights and opened fire.

Very sad.

And people wonder why I carry a gun in the gym. When I go to the gym, that is.

The gym is no different that any place else. You need a gun in a restaurant, church, home, office, daycare, park, theater, bank, convention hall, hotel room……

Ughhh....


Unfortunately, I am starting to feel this way too. I know there have been situations lately where I feel like it would be better if I had a gun on me. I have a ways to go until the card comes in the mail though...
