Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert said at a news conference Sunday that the gunfire started after an "altercation" and confirmed that multiple shooters engaged in a gunfight. He said that in addition to the gunshot victims, five other people were injured from either jumping out of windows or falling down stairs while taking cover.
"It is our top priority to find out who did this and get them off the street," Schubert said.

He said the "vast majority" of people at the party were juveniles.
"This is something that shouldn’t have happened. This goes back to having too many guns -- too many illegal guns -- on the streets. Too many people who have access to these illegal weapons," Schubert said. "Innocent people were struck… We’re sick about it, and we’re gonna do everything we can to get those responsible for it."

"We share the Pittsburgh community’s outrage regarding this tragic gun violence. Our hearts go out to all who were impacted -- including loved ones of those who lost their lives, injured victims and neighbors," Airbnb said Sunday in a statement to ABC News. "Airbnb strictly bans parties, and we condemn the behavior that is alleged to have prompted this criminal gun violence."

Airbnb said the person who booked the house has been issued a lifetime ban from Airbnb. The company confirmed that an "unauthorized party" was thrown without the knowledge or consent of the house host, who specifically stated in the listing page that no parties were allowed and that any evidence of a party would result in a $500 fee.
"We will be considering all legal options to hold this person accountable," Airbnb's statement said, adding that the company is cooperating with the Pittsburgh Police Department's investigation.
Addressing allegations that many of those attending the party were minors, the company said, "we can confirm that users must be 18 or above to create an Airbnb account."
The company also noted that its CEO, Brian Chesky, has joined a coalition of CEOs nationwide calling for stricter gun control measures to get illegal firearms off the streets.

He said a special meeting of public safety and key community members is being scheduled to discuss a citywide effort to combat gun violence.
"The time is now for us to move with a sense of urgency to bring justice to the victims and peace to our city," Gainey said in his statement. "It is critical that we come together now to help reduce the violence currently happening while we begin to do the long-term work of ending the culture of violence that is enabling the senseless loss of life we are experiencing today. We must say no more and never again."
