Pittsburgh (KDKA) A deadly shooting outside Carrick High School this afternoon has put the school on lockdown.
Officials have confirmed that one student is dead and two others were wounded in the shooting around 2pm.
According to authorities, police stopped a car outside the school and were running a check on its license plate when another vehicle pulled up and started shooting at the car.
One juvenile in the car was shot in the head and killed; a second juvenile was critically injured by gunshots. A third juvenile in the car was injured by flying glass. Authorities believe all three were Carrick High School students.
Police say the shooting may have involved an AK-47.
As a precaution, students have been kept inside the building past their normal 2:17pm dismissal while police officers swarmed the area; but they're expected to be released within the hour.
More than 1300 students in ninth through twelfth grades are enrolled at Carrick High School, which is located on Parkfield Street.
There is NO good reason for AK-47's to be "on the streets".
(Fully prepared to be flamed for this opinion)
Probably happened in one of those rundown Norwegian neighborhoods.
Hopefully you will be flamed baddddd. You deserve it with that assinine statement.
"police stopped a car outside the school and were running a check on its license plate when another vehicle pulled up and started shooting at the car."
Just Damn!
Concealed carry all the way.
Ban them = Criminals STILL WILL Get them!
It's like 1+1=2 ;)

School Lockdown Ends, Carrick Shooter Still Loose

PITTSBURGH -- Two people were shot -- one of them fatally -- in the Carrick section of Pittsburgh Wednesday afternoon.
Carrick shooting scene
Police said the shootings happened on Westmont Street at Santron Avenue, about one block from Carrick High School.
City school officials said Carrick High was locked down. All students remained inside until being dismissed at about 3:20 p.m.
Neither of the victims have been identified.
The shooter is still at large.
Police were looking for a late-1990s or early-2000s green or teal-colored car with a sunroof, possibly a Buick LeSabre or Buick Park Avenue. At least two black males were believed to be inside.
I agree and disagree.
It would not matter what weapon was used there - it would have still been the same result.
However, taking them away from law-abiding people would be unfair - they just need to snare down criminals and have safety programs available.
Still, urban areas are not where the bulk of the gun owners reside...
That's the problem. I would love to see immense gun control, but realistically, no matter how much gun control you have, the guns will still be available for criminals. Even illegally.
Or maybe in a Wisconsin church, you know how violent those types are
Actually its a predominately white part of town. Nice try.
That's funny, the last time I read the Second Amendment I misse the part where it said "...shall not be infringed, except for AK-47's".
Ive been here three months now. So far your post's probably the most assinine thing I've read here, outside the ZOT threads....
At least we don't have to worry about true evil like prayer in school. < /sarcasm >
We need to ban Sunroofs
Would you feel better if they'd have been beaten with golf clubs?
I'm fairly confident that you will not be "flamed" for that comment. While there are many 2nd Amendment folks on this board, I'm sure that they will all agree that AK-47's have no business in the hands of kids.
No sir! Not unfair, but unconstitutional!
