Unhappy The Downside of Urban Life

I shot these photos last night around 10:00. There was a major shooting, 4 people shot, 3 taken by chopper to Pittsburgh Hospitals. The local News actually used some of these pics as well as some video I got too. Which is cool, but you have to feel bad for these people who were hurt.

Thanks, I'm glad youlike them. There were 3 choppers there all together. This one was just getting ready to take off. In the some of the full size photos you can almost see the person inside being worked on. The ambulances in the background were just getting ready to unload someone else for another chopper across the lot. They land here (I'm on the roof of my business taking these) all the time, But I have never seen 3 on the ground at one time.

Hardly a thank you When I called them back for the email address the girl acted like I was bothering her. Meanwhile NO news stations made it there on time for this kind of photos/video. I think I have some of the few out there, so you think they would be happy about it.
But, I guess thats okay. I really just took them because I LOVE taking photos

Nice photos on the spot. I do not think I would want to live there for sure.

The Police are still trying to figure out waht happend. But as far as they know right now, there were some people running an illegal after hrs club from the basement of a house. Two masked people came in with semi-automatics and started shooting up the place. All of the people shot received multiple gunshot wounds. The really bad part is that the police were just getting ready to raid the place. If only they were just a bit sooner, this may not have happend.
