PITTSBURGH — An amusement park outside of Pittsburgh remained closed Sunday after three people were injured in a shooting and others suffered what Allegheny County police described as “trample injuries” in their scramble to escape the chaos during the Saturday night opening of Kennywood's Phantom Fall Fest.
Shots rang out in front of the Musik Express ride near the Lost Kennywood area of the park about 10:50 p.m., the result of “an altercation” between two groups of young men, county police Superintendent Christopher Kearns said. During the fight, at least one person pulled out a gun, and two shots were fired, Kearns said.
A 15-year-old boy was shot in the leg and was being treated at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He was listed in stable condition, according to county police.
