Three people shot during a baby shower in Pennsylvania after a fight about gifts, police say.

Three people were shot on Saturday during a baby shower in Pennsylvania after a fight about gifts, police said.

Police in Lower Burrell, a small city 30 minutes northeast of Pittsburgh, responded to a call reporting an active shooting at the Kinloch Fire Department just after 6 p.m. on Saturday. Authorities discovered it was “not an active shooter situation but rather an isolated family incident during a baby shower,” according to a statement city police made All three were taken to a local hospital for their gunshot wounds and their conditions remain unknown.

Police believe a family argument broke at the baby shower over presents, turning physical before the suspect took out a semi-automatic handgun and began shooting. The name of the suspect, who is expected to be arraigned soon, has not been released. As of Saturday evening he was in a city jail.

LaurieWorby yay guns

CAN THERE BE ANYMORE LOWER LIFE'S THAN THIS CROWD

At least the gender reveal went smoothly 🤷🏿‍♂️

What in the world?!

Between baby shower shoot-outs and gender reveal explosions, no wonder people are having second thoughts about having kids.

SMH..

America 🥱

I'm still waiting to hear the details of the gift argument Did someone buy an ugly gift? A cheap gift? No gift? Another pink onesie after mom repeatedly said she hated pink oneself? Give us the interesting part!

This is why we can’t have nice things

What if the gift was a crocodile?

And why are they bringing guns to a baby shower in the first place?

See Baby showers are the gateway to hell

Stay classy, Murica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

By the way that baby has no chance in life, none.

TIME TO STOP RENTING OUT THE PLACE...

Black folks doing black folk stuff

I feel like 'Pennsylvania man' doesn't get its due.

The only thing nuttier than taking your gun to church is taking it to a baby shower.

Yet again, we are all less safe when in the presence of a firearm.

What? Come On?!?!

TwitTartwif Come on! Really? At a baby shower? WTF

God bless Murica, the land of the free...

I don’t know much about baby showers, but there are firearms there?

The US is just like Libya or any rough and tumble place with guns all around.

Exactly why I have a personal policy of never attending a shower!

But guns are not a problem, right? 🙄

Damn shame i tell ya...SMH

2A bro

Yes. YES. WE HAVE A GUN PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY.

We might be the worst country.

its pretty straightforward. its a baby shower not secret santa, why they fight over gifts?

Babies at a baby shower… MINE! NO, MINE!

Twenty Internets says illegal gun in the hands of a prohibited person.

If you need a gun at a baby shower. You shouldn't be there.

God bless America! Yee Haw!

Allowing access to guns for people with poor impulse control and limited ability to make ration decisions is a recipe for disaster 😕

Really?!

Yahoos

People are truly losing it.

Baby showers, Gender reveal parties What to hell is wrong with these people?

asullivan6alice Damn come on people🤷‍♂️😡

Idiocy.

In the old days it was fist fights, now it’s gun fights. The NRA still pushes “guns don’t kill people, people kill people. If people can’t be convinced to be vaccinated, they certainly can’t be convinced to give up guns. It’s all rather hopeless!

“Oh I’m embarrassed, I’m leaving” “You embarrassed me I’m getting my gun” insecurity

kathy_resister I know it doesn't save me or protect me from a gun nut, but this is why I stay at home now. People scare me. Too many guns, too few laws, too much craziness.

Instead of gifts how about a one way ticket to Shawshank

shomaristone Well, we need more guns! Thanks to GOP

Why are there guns at a baby shower? Despicable

You just can't write comedy like this.

Never bring a baby shower gift to a gunfight.

docrocktex26 What kind of trash takes a gun to a baby shower?

docrocktex26 was this a gender reveal

docrocktex26 gunfail

Ungrateful. Over gifts 🤦‍♀️JFC. How do people like this get guns?

This was in Pennsyltucky.

Could it be that another 'good guy with a gun' got mad at someone?

Only in America

Good people and guns. Right.

What was a gun doing at a baby shower! Please People!

WTF🤔😡😡

Shower of Bullets 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Somebody finally lost it over those dumb baby shower games.

Onigiri Three WaysCompact and ready to be taken on the go, onigiri—which are sold in convenience stores all over Japan—are great packed into lunches or enjoyed as an easy anytime snack. The balls are stuffed with flavorful and often salty fillings that pair well with the sticky rice: Go classic with Kewpie mayonnaise and tuna or umeboshi (mouth-puckering pickled plums), or try pickled vegetables like kimchi—even yesterday’s chicken salad works. The fun part is forming the balls, and you don’t need to be a sushi chef to do it. The secret is to use slightly warm rice for easy molding and to keep a bowl of water nearby to dip your hands in to prevent sticking. As for soy sauce, you won’t need it. These little flavor bombs are tasty all on their own. This recipe makes 3–4 balls of each type (tuna, umeboshi, and kimchi). If you only want one flavor, simply increase your filling of choice. その通り🍙 Taste good cold or hot. 🙂 you eat it like a sandwich holding it with your hands.
