Two people are reportedly dead and several are wounded in a shooting at a psychiatric clinic at the University of Pittsburgh, CBS station KDKA reports.
Police were looking for a gunman.

They just kill their children. /s
You could also say that antibiotics only “suppress” an infection and do not “solve” it — but they put the body in a position of better advantage to cope. The idea of a medicine as a fix rather than as a bandage to a wounded mind so that it can heal through slower means is being presented and then bashed as a straw man here.
And normally by other means than guns.
Or the woman in a suburb close to me (Naperville IL) who drugged her children silly then suffocated them with pillows in bed, in a mad desire to get back at a husband she wasn’t getting along well with.
The gunman got around:

There were shell casings found on the second floor as well, reportedly.
... the gunman may have been using a 9mm gun.
According to the story there are many more civilians that have suffered injures.
"Two people are reportedly dead and several are wounded"
So sad. Prayers to the friends and families.
Staged to give legitimacy to the anti-gun lobby and the unconstitutional anti-gun policies of our own government.
Yup.
a lot of this is due to the economy and cost cutting in mental health: less employees, less safe environments; less security...Add to that we have a sicker group of people who are now not in state psychiatric hospitals but are being “treated” in outpatient facillities with many patients being homeless.
...and with Obama care..this scene will only get worse..a LOT worse. congratulations to the Progressives!
‘See “Year of the shark” for an example’
Which was nipped right in the bud by Sept. 11.
Along with Chandra Levy-Gary Condit-mania.
The staff at this hospital already have their hands full with the poor patients who are there because of emotional problems. Imagine the chaos there now trying to keep the patients calm after seeing a gunman and police running around, shots fired, people and officer shot. I am sure tonight will be very difficult for all at the psych hospital. Prayers for everyone.
Then you want to see statistics on psychological counseling, not psychiatry.
So that is the only way that psychiatry solves psychiatric problems?
...take it from one who was in a hold up, you can't get close enough to to floor
It doesn’t sound like just one gunman to me.
From a news reporter on scene:

“Yeah Peggy, [b]multiple police sources[/b] are now telling us this has turned into a [b]hostage situation[/b]. My sources are telling me—my police sources are telling me—that they have received three phone calls from people inside Western Psych claiming that they are now being held hostage by [b]two men with guns[/b]. ... But again, the very latest information is that this has now evolved into a hostage situation. .... We understand from our police sources that they have received three phone calls from people inside Western Psych claiming at this moment that they are being held hostage by two men armed with guns. ..... Now we are hearing the possibility that there may be [b]two to three shooters[/b] involved in this incident. ...Again we are getting all this information from our police sources. ... “
Anyone else find it a little odd that no shooter information has been made available yet?
It’s still going on?
To listen to the local news here, you would think it was all resolved and that the “lone” shooter was killed early on.
What are they not telling us?
2-3 shooters? An Islamic cell?
