PITTSBURGH — The scale of the mass shooting at a North Side Airbnb early Sunday remained apparent Monday morning. Bullet holes in the building that hosted about 200 people — many of them underage — and surrounding structures and cars laid bare a chaotic scene, one in which two 17-year-olds were killed and several others were hurt, either struck by gunfire or injured as they escaped for their lives.
For a large portion of Easter Sunday, Pittsburgh made national and international headlines as the city became the focal point of America’s escalating gun violence crisis.
Mathew Steffy-Ross, of Pitcairn, and Jaiden Brown, whose home address was not listed by the medical examiner, were identified as the two who were killed when, according to police, more than 90 shots rang out in a chaotic scene inside the Airbnb and on surrounding streets as the crowd ran for cover.
