Another 10 people were injured by gunfire in the town of Bridgeville near Pittsburgh, after the incident at the LA Fitness Center.

It was horrible," said the witness. FROM BBC WORLD SERVICE More from BBC World Service It is not known whether the gunman had any specific reason for targeting anyone at the gym.

The gym management said in a statement: "Each of us in the LA Fitness family are shocked and saddened by the senseless acts of violence that took place."
