(Pittsburgh, PA) A sixteen-year-old suspect was charged on Wednesday in connection with a shooting that occurred at the Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh on September 30th, 2025 which injured one person that night. This teenage boy faces charges of gun charges, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment and he shot another teenager who showed up to Allegheny General Hospital after shots were fired. According to a criminal complaint, the teen at the hospital shot told investigators they had been shot while walking in the Ross Park Mall parking lot near the Dick’s Sporting Goods House of Sport. The teenager who was injured shot back and police confirm the two teenagers attend the same school. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the suspect, and it is unclear if the teenager that was hurt in this shooting at the Ross Park Mall will face charges. This morning, Ross Township Police Chief Brian Kohlhepp noted two more juveniles who were actively shooting during the incident are being criminally charged. Kohlhepp also stated that one of those two juveniles is in custody, while both the other and the main suspect are still at large.
