Five people have been killed and three injured in a shooting at a backyard party near Pittsburgh.
The suspects are still at large, according to local media.
Four women and one man were shot and killed in the residential neighborhood in Wilkinsburg, about 8 miles east of the city.
In a briefing, county police said they were called to a shooting at what appeared to be backyard party or cookout just before 11pm.
Eight people had been shot, according to police, with four killed at the scene. The four others were transferred to hospital, where one woman died. Two men are in a critical condition and one woman is stable in hospital.
Lieutenant Andrew Schurman of Allegheny County homicide unit said the gunmen barged into the party and opened fire in an ambush-style attack.
