Police announced no immediate arrests
PITTSBURGH: Two people fired into a van outside a Pittsburgh school at dismissal time Wednesday afternoon, sending a 15-year-old student to a hospital in critical condition, authorities said.
Two people reportedly approached the school van outside Oliver Citywide Academy and fired into it, hitting the male student, Pittsburgh Public Schools said.
No arrests were immediately announced. Police said they were reviewing surveillance videos and seeking witnesses.
Oliver Citywide Academy describes itself on its website as “a full-time special education center serving grades 3-12.”
School officials said all other students were safe inside the building. The school was locked down for a time.
Parents of the victim and other students had been notified, officials said.
Police Chief Scott Schubert said such a shooting occurring at a school was of particular concern.
“That’s something we don’t want, and we’re going to do everything we can to find out who did it and bring them to justice,” he said.
