Collier Township Police Chief Tom Devin told reporters that he believed the shooter committed suicide at the scene but could not yet be sure.
Two weapons have been found at the scene.
Witnesses told ABC News affiliate WTAE in Pittsburgh that a man turned off lights and shot people in a Latin dance class in the aerobics center of the L.A. Fitness gym at approximately 8 p.m.
A woman in the class at the time of the shooting, who identified herself as Nicole, told WTAE that the class had started about 10 minutes before the gunfire.
She said about 30 women were in the class when "a middle-aged white male walked into the class. He had a big gym bag."
"He looked out of place in a class full of women," according to the witness, who said the man put his bag down, turned the lights off and opened fire.
Moffat said that the man did not say a word upon entering the gym and then walking into the dance studio.
"He walked right into the room where the shootings occurred as if he knew exactly where he was going," he said.
The floor was littered with shell casings and blood, according to surviving witnesses. A local hospital is treating five women who were shot multiple times, all of whom were in critical condition, reports WTAE.
Area hospitals are treating the other victims, including two in fair condition.
