BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) - A gunman strolled to the back of an exercise class at a health club in suburban Pittsburgh and started spraying bullets, leaving at least four people dead, including himself, and injuring at least 10 others.

A law enforcement official says two women and a man believed to be the shooter died at the scene Tuesday night and a fourth person died on the way to a hospital. The official wasn't authorized to comment on the investigation into the shooting and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Three bodies were taken early Wednesday out of the L.A. Fitness Center in Bridgeville, a community of about 5,000 residents not far from downtown Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh International Airport.

After a burst of bullets, people began screaming and running out of the building, a witness said.

A woman with a chest wound died at St. Clair Hospital, where two other female victims were in stable condition, spokesman Rich Sieber said.

Five victims arrived in critical condition at UPMC Mercy Hospital, and two women were listed in fair condition at Allegheny General Hospital, hospital officials said.
