Ross Deputy Chief of Police Brian Kohlhepp said multiple calls for shots fired outside Ross Park Mall came in to Allegheny County 911 beginning at 7:51 p.m. on Sept. 30.

All on-duty Ross police responded, along with officers from other municipalities. Multiple shell casings were found on the sidewalk and in the parking lot.

Kohlhepp said a walk-in gunshot victim arrived at Allegheny General Hospital around 8:15 p.m. Police interviewed the victim with his father present.

Police reviewed surveillance footage of the incident that showed two groups of people, mostly juveniles. Kohlhepp said four of the people involved have been identified. The three who were actively shooting are the ones now facing charges.

According to the criminal complaint, Pittsburgh Public Schools police helped identify Scott from the surveillance footage. Investigators say the teenagers knew each other from school, and believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute outside of Ross Township.

“It’s pretty clear that they knew each other prior to this incident,” Kohlhepp told Channel 11. “The shooting that occurred here in Ross stemmed from earlier disputes and arguments that had been going on.”

Kohlhepp says the department is in communication with Pittsburgh Public Schools for safety and identification purposes. 

Channel 11 reached out to Pittsburgh Public Schools, which had no comment.
