Multiple Shooting Victims at Shopping Center

At least 4 people are dead, including a gunman in a shooting at the Great Southern Shopping Center in Collier Township, south of Pittsburgh. Witnesses say a middle aged white male walked into a Latin dance class at about 8:15 this evening at the L.A. Fitness Center, pulled a handgun out of a bag, turned out the lights and opened fire. About 30 women were in the aerobics room at the time. The gunman wounded at least 9 others before killing himself. At least 5 of the wounded are in critical condition at UPMC Mercy Hospital. Two of the wounded women were taken to Allegheny General Hospital and two others to St. Clair Hospital.
Police are not indicating a motive at this time but there are reports that one of the women in the dance class had recently ended a relationship with the gunman.
