Gunmanhunt underway at Pennsylvania amusement park after shooting 3

A manhunt is underway for a gunman who shot three people on Saturday at an amusement park in Pennsylvania, police said.

Three people including a juvenile male were struck after an altercation between two groups of teenage males near the Musik Express ride at the Kennywood amusement park in West Mifflin, according to a spokesman for Allegheny County Police.

At one point a firearm was produced and at least two shots were fired, the spokesman said, adding that the juvenile male was in stable condition and an adult male was treated and released. The third was being treated for their injuries.

The spokesman said there was an ongoing search for the shooter, as a Black man wearing a black Covid-style mask.

He said that a number of people may have received minor injuries due to trampling as people were rushing to get out, although he did not have an exact number.

The park's spokesman said that bags were searched by the park with metal detectors at the entrance of the park in southeast Pittsburgh.

The park said it was working with local law enforcement. It said that the safety of our guests and team members is our top priority. Members of the park's security, Allegheny County and West Mifflin police departments were already on site and responded immediately.
