A gunman walked into a Bridgeville, Pa., health club tonight, turned out the lights and opened fire, witnesses of the shocking attack said. Authorities have identified a possible suspect in a Collier Township fitness club shooting that killed four people and wounded as many 15.
ABC News has confirmed that George Sodini (48) of Scott Township, Pa., was the man who police say walked quietly Wednesday into an aerobics class at the L.A. Fitness Center in Bridgeville, Pa., where he was a member, turned off the lights and started shooting.
“I’ve never seen nothing quite like this,” Allegheny County police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said. “It was very chaotic.”
According to ABC News, Jen Malley told “Good Morning America” today that she was in the Latin dance class at L.A. Fitness Tuesday when the shooting started. It’s a class she takes every week with friends.
“It was the most terrifying experience of my life,” she said. “I’ve never been so scared.”
Malley said she didn’t see Sodini enter the room but said she felt a presence of “someone who didn’t belong there.” Then the room went dark.
“Everyone was just screaming so loud. At first I didn’t even think shots were being fired,” she said. “It was so surreal.”
Then, as she realized what was happening, Malley and her friends found their way out of the room by following the direction of the lights in other parts of the gym.
