BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. - Authorities say an armed man who strolled to the back of an exercise class at a health club in suburban Pittsburgh pulled out multiple guns and fired 52 shots, killing three women and himself, and injuring at least nine other women.

Allegheny County police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said the gunman in the Tuesday night shooting had identification but did not say whether they had confirmed his identity.

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) , An armed man strolled to the back of an exercise class at a health club in suburban Pittsburgh on Tuesday night and then pulled out two guns and started spraying bullets, leaving four people dead, including himself, and injuring at least 10 others, authorities said.

A law enforcement official said two women and a man believed to be the shooter died at the scene Tuesday night and a fourth person died on the way to a hospital. The official wasn't authorized to comment on the investigation into the shooting and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Allegheny County police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said the shooter did not say anything before unleashing a burst of bullets.

"He walked right into the room where the shootings occurred as if he knew exactly where he was going," Moffatt said.

Three bodies were removed early Wednesday from the L.A. Fitness Center in Bridgeville, a community of about 5,000 residents not far from downtown Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh International Airport.

A woman with a chest wound died at St. Clair Hospital, where two other female victims were in stable condition, spokesman Rich Sieber said.

Five victims arrived in critical condition at UPMC Mercy Hospital, and two women were listed in fair condition at Allegheny General Hospital, hospital officials said.

Joann Gazzam, who was taking part in the weekly Latin impact dance exercise class, saw the gunman walk to the back of the room near some weights, set down a bag and fumble with it for a few minutes before coming up with what appeared to be two guns and opening fire, according to her sister, Debi Wozniak, of suburban Dormont.

Gazzam told Wozniak that the instructor was among those who appeared to have been shot, and that the gunman had killed himself.

Because black people are too busy killing each other to go out and kill civilians.

@tjdr591 maybe he shouldve kept drinking because im kinda edgie when im around other women im attracted to and dont know what to say half the time but when i drink i can be more relaxed and social around them

[tjdr591]

"If he spent more time learning how to get chicks and working on changing his loser attitude instead of planning how to kill them jeez this would have never happened."

You genius thats exactly what he did. He spent all of his time obsessing about how to get women. He had tons of dating books on it.

Hey it worked for me I'm a hideous looking guy whos short and doesn't have money lol. I used to think just like this guy for so many years but learned to change attitudes and beliefs and girls throw themselves at me. Its about the reality u make.Almost 50 years of loneliness and hopelessness can drive people insane. Naive this book is a game changer for so many people lives. Losers just like him changed their lives and have women of their dreams .Experience it for yourself its the real deal dude

[darkanddevious]

cant always rely on mystery method, advertising gimmicks like that are nice in theory but they are not a instant fix with women, you cant be yourself when you are being mystery, its not a magic pill,and it doesnt work for everyone, dont be so naive!
