Five Killed at Penn. Health Club
--------------------------------



Here in the United States, five people are dead after a gunman attacked
a health club near Pittsburgh Tuesday night. The gunman killed four
people before reportedly taking his own life. A witness described the
attack.

Witness: “I was standing right by the free weights, right by the
aerobics room, and I just kept hearing shots, about thirty shots. And I
had just seen people running, running all around, and I just started
ducking down, running for my life. It was one of the scariest things
I’ve ever seen.”

Another fifteen people were reported wounded in the shooting.
