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.
