SWISSVALE, Pa. (AP) - Two people have been killed and two others wounded in a shooting at an apartment complex just outside of Pittsburgh.

Officers responding about 8:15 p.m. Monday in Swissvale found four people shot.

The Allegheny County medical examiner says 18-year-old Robert Detorre III and 19-year-old Anthony Hoots were killed. Autopsies were scheduled later Tuesday.



Police say the other two victims were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say it appears the two men who were killed had exchanged gunfire.

A motive for the shooting remains under investigation, but police say it could be drug-related.

Detorre was from Swissvale and Hoots from nearby Turtle Creek.
