Pennsylvania: Gunmen kill six including a pregnant lady
Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, Mar 11 (IBNS) A family cookout turned gory as two gunmen shot six people in their own backyard on Wednesday night, including an eight-month old pregnant lady, in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, according to reports.
CNN reported that the deceased were identified as Jerry Shelton, Chanetta Powell and Brittany Powell, Tina Shelton and Shada Mahone. As Chanetta was pregnant, her unborn child was also counted as one murdered.
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala was quoted in the media as saying, "It was premeditated, it was calculated, it was planned. It's one of the most brutal I've seen. I've been the DA for 18 years; I haven't seen something like this."
Zappala further said, "It wasn't like he was just squeezing shots off randomly. They were all head shots."
