Police arrested a 17-year-old in connection with a shooting at a mall outside Pittsburgh that left three people injured.

Monroeville police identified the suspect as Tarod Thornhill. He was charged Sunday with aggravated assault, attempted homicide, and recklessly endangering other people, police said.  

Thornhill was taken to the Allegheny County jail to await arraignment, according to police.

Investigators used store surveillance video from Monroeville Mall and pictures posted to social media to identify Thornhill, police said.

Josh Vehar told ABC News he saw a young man firing into a crowd of people. He said he was with his 5-year-old daughter in the Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Play, about 20 to 30 feet away from where the shooting happened.

“I watched this kid pull his gun out and when he pulled the gun out, he just started firing,” Vehar said. “He shot like six, seven times and then it just turned into pandemonium after that.”

The three people injured, two men and one woman, were taken to Forbes Regional Hospital. The men were listed in critical condition, while the woman suffered non-life threatening injuries, said police.

  1. Good People are going to need guns to protect themselves from the SCUM SHOOTERS.

    This just shows you CROOKS will always have guns, when honerable people do not have guns . Perfect example why people need to carry and to hell with the LAWS as to carry permits. The government has made so many laws against the innocent that we are all going to be targets

    MARK

  2. SSDD in the hood.I agree Mark. Thats why I carry always. Fortunately, I live where I don’t have to ask anyone’s permission.

  3. “I watched this kid pull his gun out and when he pulled the gun out, he just started firing,” Vehar said. “He shot like six, seven times and then it just turned into pandemonium after that.”

    So, what was his point?

    Makes no sense.
