The building was placed on lockdown after one injured boy made his way back to school to get help and was spotted by a teacher.
"We don't know if there were multiple shooters at this time," police spokeswoman Diane Richard told reporters, saying the injured were not in danger. "No one is talking at this time."

injured boys are believed to be aged 17 and 16, Richard said. One was
shot in the leg and foot, one had a bullet graze his head and the third
was grazed in the neck and head, she told WTAE news.

male and, while the search was proceeding through Wednesday afternoon,
at least one man was arrested after a SWAT team surrounded a home near
the school. Three others were reportedly taken into custody.

shooters are thought to have emerged from a wooded area before opening

by running to a waiting vehicle.Several
area networks have reported that police are scouring woods in the
Beechview area of Pittsburgh for a possible gunman or gunmen.
