Authorities say 3 people shot in or near a US high school; police searching for gunman

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – School officials say three people were shot in or near a high school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and police are searching for a gunman.

Pittsburgh school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh says three students were shot outside Brashear High School on Wednesday afternoon as they walked to a vehicle they’d all taken to school earlier in the day.

She says their injuries appear to be non-life-threatening. Two were grazed in the head and one was shot in both the foot and arm.

Pugh says the victims were not on school property but close by. It’s not clear who shot them.
