Pittsburgh Police officers from Zone 1 were alerted to multiple ShotSpotter alerts in the 800 block of Suismon Street just after 12:30 a.m.
As responding units arrived on scene, additional shots were being registered in the immediate vicinity and several young people were observed fleeing the area on foot and by vehicle from an AirBnB property that had been rented on Suismon Street at Madison Avenue.
Officers located gunshot victims at or near the scene who were transported to local hospitals by Pittsburgh EMS and Police. Additional gunshot victims arrived at hospitals both inside and outside of the city by private means.
Two male victims, both juveniles, were pronounced deceased in the hospital. There are at least 11 gunshot victims at time of writing, including the deceased.
The initial investigation reveals a large party was being held at the short-term rental property, with as many as 200 people in attendance, many of them underage.
