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.

I am again humbled by a freeper's technical knowledge of firearms...

They didn't teach us about 22's at Parris Island.

BTW, are they legal in NY? I'm looking for a new toy...

Besides, it doesn't matter what weapon criminals use, they will still meet their deadly targets. Even if a law-abiding citizen used a TANK to protect, they are doing their thing and peacefully.

The AK-47 has committed no crime.

I'll agree to that... Odd isnt it, as the Assault Weapons Ban expires..the MSM has put a large emphasis on the number and details of shootings.

The families are in my prayers.


I wonder if there's anywhere I can look up shooting statistics and compare/contrast the last few weeks to the average. Does anyone know?

I know there have been a few extreme incidents lately, but some of these stories don't seem like the type to usually make the national news.

There is NO good reason for AK-47's to be "on the streets".

A representative of President Hillary Clinton's BATF is at your door to confiscate your .22 and your 20-gauge. Do you have an answer for him?

Yeah, I know, common sense has been nearly driven out of here by spamming, hysterical, foaming at the mouth purists. Obviously I must use the constitution for toilet paper since I disagree with how broadly it be intepreted on a single issue.

Yep, sooner or later, everyone is a RINO except you. Life's a b!tch, ain't it?

Keep reading what I wrote - if it worked and all was peaceful, that would be great. But it doesn't work. Criminals don't respect gun control laws at all, it would just leave everyone else defenseless (including law-abiding citizens, police and security)

IE; The Hill District, Northside, East McKeesport, etc etc etc . .
Guess you've never been to Strawberry Mansion, or other parts of Philly . . . or any other resonably large city in ANY part of the country.

there is no right to a bazooka or rocket launcher

You'll find plenty here who disagree.

Take the stadiums out of Pittsburgh, and it becomes Syracuse!

The US could repeal the 2nd Amendment and replace it with a 100% ban on firearms and there would still be just as much gun violence. Criminals don't respect laws at all.

I disagree. I think there would be much MORE gun violence perpetrated by the criminals, including those wearing govt. uniforms.
