Those poor women....probably some children have been made motherless by a selfish ragefilled reject.
And a report that the instructor who was shot was pregnant.
When the man walked in with a black duffle bag; people thought he was a raquetball player. He then turned the lights off and started shooting; the instructor ‘Mary’ was shot...this per a very shaken young woman on wpxi right now. This young woman needs to get some help tonite; she looks/sounds like she is in shock.
I agree. Those poor women. I normally believe that the only way to stop a spree killer is with conceal carry. In this case there is no way to do anything. I wonder what the history was of this monster. I cannot believe this was an isolated violent act on the part of him.
Count on it.
1. Gunman was silent while firing. Reloaded, began shooting again.
2. Girls were trapped.
3. Class started at 8:00pm; “Latin Impact Class”.
4. Class was packed, as it was “Mary’s” (Aerobic Instructor) last class.
This girl on right now is in shock; she apparently saw Mary, the instructor shot; and another girl shot as well.
I hope this young girl gets some help. Five girls down in the Latin dance class.
Geez
Damn... jilted guy becomes psychotic woman-hater. I’ve seen it happen before, but never with such violent ends.
Obviously, she was right to dump the psycho. Also obviously, she had no way to know it would end like this.
They updated that 5 went to Mercy, 2 to AGH, and 2 to St. Claire. The two at St. Claire were reported to be stabilized. 6 dead including the gunmen and 9 wounded.
none of the big cable channels are showing this live
That poor girl looked as if she was going to faint on camera.

My oldest son manages a gym (here in Pittsburgh); almost had a heart attack when I saw the Drudge headline. The “personal trainer” community is a small one here in town. My son has friends who also manage/teach (gosh thinking of how many Mary’s he knows).
Off topic, but Bridgeville is losing its big Dodge dealership (Burgunder Dodge) in the bankruptcy.
No, and he killed innocent people who were nothing to do with him and his ex-girlfriend.
You were right, it seems - post #34 said woman in class had broken up with him earlier.
