A gunman came into the back door with a duffel bag into  the LA Fitness near my home and went into the aerobic studio turned off the lights and started firing. Right now at least 4 dead including gunman and at least 9 as of now injured and being taken to local hospital. As far as they know right now all deaths and injuries are women. This is right near our high school. I hope none of the deaths are moms of our childrens friends.
THis is NOT the gym Lora and I go to but it is about 2 miles from our houses.
I just passed there coming from Giant Eagle about 15 minutes before it happened.
Please pray for these ladies.

Mary,
It was the LA Fitness in Great Southern Shopping center in Bridgeville along Rt 50 , Collier Township. In the same place where JC Penneys used to be. Near Chartiers Valley Schools.
This LA Fitness was just celebrating being open one year today,

 I just opened the CNN online report.  I am from the East Pittsburgh area.  I used to teach in these fitness facilities.  It rung home on too many levels.  I can't imagine the horror.  

Peace - again

Just heared that the instructor was shot and she was pregnant. No information about her condition. I hope she is ok. I can't imagine what she is going through.

tragic....

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Mary,

How tragic!  I've come to the conclusion that people are NUTS!  What is wrong with people that don't respect human life and our beautiful planet?  I guess if we knew the answer to that, we'd all be wealthy!  I hope and pray that not too many were injured.  How traumatized they all must feel, and to have something like that happen so close to your home.  Blessings to you!

Mary...that is just horrible....I will have to get on the internet and read more about it.

So sad for all those involved. That instructor being pregnant is just so sad.

My thoughts and prayers are with them all. So tragic!!
I wonder what the motive was??

Hugs....connie d
