crtclms Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I am shocked by this, I was just talking about WPIC earlier today. I have been in that building, in that lobby, so many times growing up. My dad ran one of the first outpatient clinics for "Manic-Depressive Illness" in the country on the first door past the lobby. Multiple victims in Western Psych shooting Thursday, March 08, 2012 By Sadie Gurman, Liz Navratil and Dan Majors, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette At least five people have been shot at Western Psychiatric Institue and Clinic of UPMC.

irenidae Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 That's scary. What would compel someone to do something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaashii Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Very scary. Definitely sickens me to think that somebody had it in them to do something like that. Words just fail me trying to describe the kind of animal that could do such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vapourware Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 That's very disturbing. Does anyone know if the shooters were patients, or outsiders who decided to shoot up a hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 They've added pictures since last I looked. I forgot to mention, it is directly across the street from the main UPMC hospital (Presbyterian, if it hasn't been renamed), and Children's Hospital. And there are some graduate students standing behind glass doors in Parran Hall: You could shoot from a window at WPIC right at them, I am hoping that someone slapped them upside the head. The shooter would have to have good aim, but in Western PA a ton of people hunt. ETA: I'll see if I can find out if they are patients or not, but right now, I don't know.

december_brigette Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I read the basics earlier. My thoughts go out to all who were involved and their families. I hope this doesn't put more crazy into the "crazy" label. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ugh, 2 dead, 7 injured. They believe one of the dead is the gunman, and say there is no second shooter or hostage situation. What are the chances that the gunman and the other fatality know each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
