Three Teens Shot Outside Cupples Stadium After High School Game

Authorities are searching for one or more suspects as they investigate whether a fight outside the stadium triggered the gunfire.

Overview

  • Police say two males and one female, all believed to be teenagers, were shot and taken to hospitals in stable condition after gunfire outside George K. Cupples Stadium.
  • Officers who were breaking up fights outside the stadium reported that an individual produced a firearm and fired multiple rounds as crowds were exiting the venue.
  • Police officers and Port Authority personnel were present at the game and metal detectors were in use, but officials do not yet know if the shooter or the victims had been inside the stadium earlier.
  • Local scanner traffic and a Homestead borough councilman gave unverified reports of a fleeing male and multiple scene locations, but Pittsburgh Police have not confirmed those details and have released no suspect description.
  • Investigators continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses and officials have asked the public to report any information that could help identify the shooter.
