Shooting victim in East Liberty street fight speaks out

PITTSBURGH — On Sunday night, three females and a male were shot after a street fight in East Liberty.

The fight wasn't how one mother said she envisioned her daughter's birthday.

"She was walking toward the park, and from what I hear, the girl said, 'There she is, let's get her, let's fight her,'" said Adrienne Goshay, the mother of one of the fight victims.

Goshay's daughter is the girl wearing all white in the video of the brawl.

She said a group of girls had been bothering her daughter for a while, but she never thought it would come to this.

"We didn't even get to sing Happy Birthday because they wanted to fight my daughter," Goshay said.

Goshay said her daughter was followed by a group of girls and was left with no choice but to defend herself.

"It was so chaotic. I was trying to reach for my daughter just to protect her but I couldn't get to her," Goshay said.

Then out of nowhere, there were gunshots.

"I got a second chance at life, basically," said shooting victim Dora Griffin.

Griffin said she was shot while trying to protect her own daughter in the middle of the chaos.

"She pulled her gun out and was aiming for my daughter, so I'm trying to wrestle my daughter down to pull her back from the fight," Griffin said.

The suspect, Stacey Gibson, turned herself into police on Tuesday.

Goshay told Channel 11 she is getting evicted because of the fight and shooting that occurred. She says she wants justice, because she said her daughter wasn't at fault for any of what happened.
