2022 Pittsburgh shooting

On April 17, 2022, two teenagers were killed and 14 people were injured in a mass shooting at a house party in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The attack has gradually become a cold case, with no arrests or charges being filed as of 2024.

Shooting
The party was taking place at an Airbnb rental in the East Allegheny neighborhood, in violation of an Airbnb policy that forbade parties. Around 200 people, mostly minors, were attending the party.

Around 12:30 AM, the party was interrupted with around 50 shots of gunfire, which hit 8 people. Partygoers tried to escape the scene, smashing objects and jumping out of windows during the process. Many people were accidentally injured as they tried to flee. A witness who hid three girls in his car said he had heard loud sounds which he initially believed were fireworks, but then realized were actually gunshots after seeing people fleeing the scene.

Multiple guns were used in the shooting, leading police to suspect that more than one gunman was responsible. ShotSpotter estimated that around 90 rounds were used, and many witnesses insisted the number was higher.

Two teenage boys, both 17 years old, died of their injuries later in the hospital. The party's host was banned for life from Airbnb, which does not permit partying nor allow people under 18 to hold accounts.

As of 2024, no one has been charged for the shooting.
