BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. —
SNIPPET: “Witnesses told WTAE Channel 4 Action News that a man unrecognized by the gym’s staff turned off lights and shot people in a class in the aerobics center at the time of the shooting.”
Woah. Any hint of perp or motive yet?
Can you impart a bit of background on Bridgeville for us flyover types?
I have relatives in Bridgeville. None of them would be hanging out in a gym though!
Prayers for all involved.
Who shoots up an aerobics class?
jealousy maybe? Love triangle maybe? Who knows these days. God rest the souls of those deceased and help everyone else get through it. HOpe they caught the perp and hope he gets his just desserts unless he already has.
It's a 'Burgh

Either a total fruitloop, or his estranged wife was in the class ... or both.
“Who shoots up an aerobics class?”
#
100% Speculation-Opinion:
Someone who doesn’t approve of gymns, someone with a personal grudge, someone going for one target but making it seem random by shooting up a room full of targets, a shooting spree psycho...etc.
well, doggone.. I hope there are no serious injuries..
We never had shootings when W was president. /s
Roid rage?
My guess is a jealous ‘fill in the blanks’.
One station has 9 dead, one has 4.
I’ve been to that strip mall. Before LA Fitness got there though.
KDKA reporting four dead in the shooting at the gym.
Aerobics classes are really annoying, but I wouldn’t say they deserve capital punishment.
