发帖数: 901 | 1 Two people were killed in a shooting incident at a psychiatric clinic of the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center on Thursday, including a gunman who
began firing inside the building shortly before 2 p.m., university and city
officials confirmed at a news briefing Thursday evening.
Seven other people were injured during the incident, but all were expected
to survive. At least one of the injuries was not gunshot-related, Donald M.
Yealy, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Pitt's medical
school and the medical center, said at the news briefing.
The identities of the shooter and the other person killed were not released.
The seven injured people were taken to a medical-center hospital across the
street from the psychiatric clinic. Two remained in intensive care Thursday
night, two had been treated and released, and the others would be admitted,
Dr. Yealy said. One of them was a visitor to the clinic, and the others were
employees.
Pittsburgh's mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, who also spoke at the news briefing,
said the gunman entered the clinic through a public area that normally has
tight security. He said there was no reason to believe more than one gunman
was involved, although the building was being searched Thursday evening.
Few other details were available on Thursday.
The university is on spring break, so few students are on the campus. The
clinic, officially known as the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, is
in a 17-story building that is adjacent to other medical buildings and
close to academic buildings on the campus in the Oakland neighborhood of
Pittsburgh.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette , the university sent a message to
employees at 2:08 p.m. saying that several people had been injured and that
a lockdown was recommended "until further notice." It also said, "If safe to
do so, tell others of this message."
One official on the scene told the newspaper that a University of Pittsburgh
police officer had shot the gunman.
At the news briefing, Mayor Ravenstahl said that university police officers
were the first to respond to the shootings and that one of the officers had
been grazed by a bullet, but was not seriously injured. | H*********S
