Kittanning is a suburb Pittsburgh.

It appears that this shooting was not at the hands of a student. But, coming in the wake of two other violent school shootings in the state this year, it reaises questions about gun regulation in Pennsylvania yet again.

Just over one week ago, Shane Halligan, a 16-year-old student at Springfield Township High School in Montgomery County, just outside of Philadelphia, shot himself with an AK-47 in a crowded hallway. In October, there was the,Amish school shooting in Lancaster in which five girls were executed in their classroom.

Although it appears that this shooting in Kittanning was not at the hands of a student, it raises, yet again, the question about gun regualtion in Pennsylvania.

What do you think? Are PA gun laws too lax?
