BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. -- Several people were reported shot at the LA Fitness gym in Bridgeville, emergency officials confirmed for WTAE Channel 4 Action News.

The reports came in shortly after 8:15 p.m. that authorities were called to the gym at the Great Southern Shopping Center at 1155 Washington Pike. Emergency officials said as many as 15 people may have been involved, but their conditions were not immediately known.

Witnesses told WTAE Channel 4 Action News that the victims shot in the gym were in a class in the aerobics center at the time of the shooting.

Former WTAE Channel 4 Action News photographer Gary O'Data said at 9:10 p.m. that the entire shopping center was shut down. He reported seeing as many as 15 ambulances and at least 20 police cars.

Clerks at neighboring stores told WTAE Channel 4 Action News that they locked their doors as a precaution.

Yes, the grocery store on the same road as the fitness club about 2 miles up on Rt 50 has a state store inside.

What a sick puppy this guy is/was!

And ABC News is sick for publishing his rants. You just know this sort of publicity is going to inspire copycats.

FWIW, I've never believed the "Once Saved, Always Saved" logic of some extreme Christian fundamentalists and this dirtbag is a poster boy as to why.

OTOH, I do believe that all people will be resurrected. That was a gift of Christ's atonement. So if that's what this dirtbag means by eternal life, I'll concede that point.

But he may have an eternal life shoveling coal into Satan's furnace.

Yes, I do. One of the Alinsky RULES FOR RADICALS which obamanation worships is:

“never allow the public to cool off”

obamanation has deliberately been in our face 24/7, whether on TV, media, photo opts,... all the while forcing laws and putting us in more debt than anyone in history, taking away our rights and health care, intimidating those who don’t agree,
More Unemployment now than ever....
SOUNDS LIKE DESPERATE TIMES... and as I said, DESPERATE PEOPLE

Coincidentally, I was at the gym this a.m. when it was being reported on Fox. Two things caught my ear. One, Megyn Kelly said that the instructor who was shot had recently announced she was pregnant. Didn't catch any other info on her as I continued my workout/PT.

Second, she said the shooter had some anti-Obama rants on his blog. Just the opening the MSM needs for more "told you so" reporting on those "crazy right wing hate groups".

"FWIW, I've never believed the "Once Saved, Always Saved" logic of some extreme Christian fundamentalists and this dirtbag is a poster boy as to why."

Me neither. I just got out of a discussion with some "Once Saved, Always Saved" believers and this incident is a perfect example of the dangers of it.

"But he may have an eternal life shoveling coal into Satan's furnace."

I am sad that (1) people taught him that destructive doctrine, (2) that he believed it and (3) that he acted on it. Makes me wonder what the consequences for the 'teachers' will be.

James 3:1 - "Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly."

“This guy must have a pile of porn at his home.”

Yes, because if we eliminated porn from our society, incidents such as these would never, ever happen.

this is just the beginning. desperate people do desperate things... and obamanation has CREATED desperation....

I doubt Obama had anything to do with this. Shot up an aerobics class? Sick! Prayers for all the families involved.

it isn’t obama personally, it is exactly what he is creating and bringing about in this Country.. chaos and crisis after crisis. Rather than fixing anything, his plans keep making things worse.

Any word on a motive?

Most of the left wing blogs are already condemning talk radio, pro lifers and guns....
