According to the city school district\u2019s website, Oliver Citywide Academy is a full-time special education center serving grades 3-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t immediately clear what spurred the shooting, which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.post-gazette.com\/news\/crime-courts\/2023\/05\/24\/oliver-citywide-shooting-brighton-heights-pittsburgh\/stories\/202305240081\">The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a>&nbsp;said happened around 7:25 a.m. on the steps outside the school. No other injuries were reported, and police said they found a gun at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The names of the students have not been released, but police said both attended the school and were under the age of 18. Authorities said the wounded student was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe, based on the information that we have and the video we\u2019ve been able to see, that we have the actor in custody and there\u2019s no potential threat to the other schools,\u201d Pittsburgh Major Crimes Cmdr. Richard Ford said during a news conference at the school. He said the victim was killed as he was walking into the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t immediately clear how many students and staff witnessed the shooting. Maria Montano, a city spokeswoman, said most students were still on their way to the school when the shooting happened, and buses were rerouted to another school building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who were already in the school were kept in the building. Classes there were canceled for the day following the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shooting came a little more than a year after another student was gunned down at the school. Marquis Campbell, 15, was killed in January 2022 as he sat in a school van waiting to go home. The alleged shooters \u2014 two brothers who Campbell knew from another school \u2014 were charged earlier this year with murder and conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/student-fatally-shoots-another-school-pittsburgh-police-say-rcna86028\">Nbcnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One student is dead and another is in custody after a shooting early Wednesday outside a school in Pittsburgh, authorities said.
