Student shot, killed outside school in Pittsburgh

A student in Pittsburgh was shot and killed outside Oliver Citywide Academy — the suspect is also believed to be a student, according to police.

A student was shot and killed near Oliver Citywide Academy in Pittsburgh. 

The violent tragedy unfolded around 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Both the victim and the shooter remain unidentified and both are believed to be students, according to authorities.

"We believe, based on the information that we have and the video we’ve been able to see, that we have the actor in custody and there’s no potential threat to the other schools," Pittsburgh Police Bureau Cmdr. Richard Ford said.

Arriving on the scene, police found one victim suffering from gunshot wounds. The victim later succumbed to their wounds and died on the scene.

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey reportedly arrived at the scene of the shooting Wednesday morning and is preparing to address the incident in a media conference later in the day.
