Officials: 2 People Dead, 2 Others Wounded In Swissvale Shooting

SWISSVALE (KDKA) -- Two teenagers are dead and two other people were wounded in a shooting Monday night at a Swissvale apartment building.

The shooting happened in a second-floor apartment in Building 400 in the Forest Apartments on Smokey Wood Drive. It happened around 8:20 p.m.

Allegheny County Police Lt. Andrew Schurman said there was no sign of forced entry.

In a news release Tuesday morning, police said it appears the two men who were killed had exchanged gunfire. The motive was not clear.

According to the Medical Examiner's Office, the two men killed have been identified as Anthony Hoots, 19, of Turtle Creek, and Robert Detorre III, 18, of Swissvale.

Christine D'Antonio's Report:

Lt. Schurman said two other men were wounded in the incident. One was treated and released from a local hospital, and the other was admitted to the hospital. Their names have not been released at this time.

Two guns were recovered in the apartment, including, sources say, an AK-47.

"There's multiple guns, multiple shots fired, so we're not sure who fired what at this point, that's what we're trying to figure out. Our crime units are in there, cataloging everything we can and the evidence," Lt. Schurman said.

Neighbors are shocked, saying the area is usually very quiet.

"I'm just shocked; just very, very shocked," said Ronny Wright, a neighbor. "I mean, all kinds of things are happening in this world. It's very quiet here."

Allegheny County homicide detectives continue to investigate.

Sources told KDKA-TV's Ralph Iannotti that one of the men killed was recently arrested by Forest Hills Police following a road rage incident in which he allegedly fired a shot at another man who had an infant in his car.

No one was hurt in that incident.
