Five people were shot dead and three others hospitalized in an incident in Wilkinsburg late Wednesday.
Allegheny County Police Lt. Andrew Schurman said the dead include four females and a male, all believed to be adults.
They were among those who were at a backyard party. The incident occurred in the 1300 block of Franklin Avenue shortly before 11 p.m.
Police said they believe there were two shooters, neither who was believed to be at the party.
As of 12:40 a.m. Thursday, no one was in custody.
Three females and a male died at the scene. A fourth female was pronounced dead at a hospital, Schurman said.
Two males are in critical condition; a female is in stable condition, he said.
A neighbor, who would not provide her name but said she lives one house away from the shooting scene, said she and her family heard about 20 gunshots.
“It sounded like a war,” she said.
She said her neighbors had a cookout earlier in the day and were in their backyard when the shots rang out.
The woman said she has lived on Franklin Avenue for 20 years and nothing similar had happened in that time.
Police urged anyone with information about the shooting to call county homicide at 412-473-1300.
