(West Mifflin, Pa.) Allegheny County police announced the arrest of a 15-year-old Darryl Pirl and said they are now looking for a second shooter in the Kennywood shooting that occurred on September 24, 2022 in which three people including Pirl, a 39-year-old man and another 15-year-old boy were shot inside the park by the “Musik Express” ride.
Pirl was grazed in the leg with a bullet but ran before police got there. He was driven to the hospital by private means nearly two hours later
Pirl will be charged as an adult and is facing two charges of aggravated assault, firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of a firearm by a minor and recklessly endangering another person.
Police say Pirl had gunshot residue on his hands and on the inside and outside of his clothing, indicating he fired the gun from underneath his shirt. He also had bullet holes in his shirt, but no wounds to his upper body.
Police said that based on evidence, two different guns were fired during the incident and that they are still looking for a second shooter, who they say is likely a juvenile.
Police say this shooting appears to be linked to an ongoing feud between teens in the Mon Valley that has led to more than 55 different shooting investigations, including one that took the life of a teenage girl in Duquesne.
Police say Pirl was on juvenile probation at the time of the shooting at Kennywood.
