CBS now reports that at least eight have been shot after a gunman walked into The Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA and yelled "All Jews must die!" before opening fire.
Authorities say that a suspect, a white male in his 40s has been arrested but no further details have been released. When police arrived on the scene, the suspect then opened fire on the responders and shot at least three.
"Police have requested that residents stay inside their home as they exchanged gun fire with a suspected gunman," according to CBS. The shooting took place during weekly Shabbat services at the conservative Jewish Synagogue.
President Donald J. Trump tweeted that he is "watching the events unfolding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania." and that those in the are should remain sheltered.
Watching the events unfolding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement on the scene. People in Squirrel Hill area should remain sheltered. Looks like multiple fatalities. Beware of active shooter. God Bless All!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 27, 2018
ORIGINAL STORY:
CBS reports that "at least four people have been confirmed dead, possibly as many as 7 to 8 could be dead" after a shooter opened fire at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hil in Pittsburgh, PA.
According to local media, "Police have requested that residents stay inside their home as they have exchanged gun fire with a suspected gunman."
Among those shot are least two police officers, but it is unclear whether not they are among the deceased.
Based on initial reports, it appears the gunman barricaded those inside the Synagogue before ambushing police as they arrived on scene. It is unclear who the shooter is or what possible motives he or she may have had.
This story will be updated as details come in.
This is what the FBI ought to be investigating, not weather some old bastard associated with Trump cheated on his taxes 15 years ago.
“This will become another anti gun campaign by the liberals.
Fox confirming name of shooter is Robert Bowers.
Oh good grief, media right on cue saying what was his motive....hey he hated Jews he posted that on his social media page. THAT IS THE MOTIVE!
That’s right. I stupidly watched Fox round 12:00 to 1:00pm EST and an African American older man contributor commenter (name?) blabbed on and said “if we find as it may be that he is a white supremacist then we can follow that lead further....”
Yeah? He hates Trump (commenter does) and any Trump guy supporting him must be an evil white supremacist.
This is disgusting.
Hours later they will give the name, then the background, then forget to say he hated Trump.
Slander.
People at home will say “I want to vote against those white supremacist Trump males. I’m so noble.”
“...was able gun control”
Yesterday I mentioned how much open hatred I see for Jews at Yahoo. I’ve seen multiple comments over the past few months. Recently one claiming the Mossad was behind the limo crash. I kid you not.
I’ve also mentioned I expected shootings (yesterday, again) because the Democrats want their anti-2A agenda candidates in office. Of course they’re all for slaughtering the unborn.
And no one will care. David Hogg was a great salesmen for firearms.
They are spinning this towards Trump by saying it wasn’t helpful for him today to say we need the death penalty. Oh also the hate Trump spews.
The shooter is a rabid maniac.
This piece of sh*t is a vile Jew hating scum bag who hated Trump and said that President Trump is being “Controlled by the Jews” maybe he’s a follower of Farrakhan who said that he is not an anti semite, but anti termite, didn’t hear any condemnation from the commie media
Don’t ya know the drill by now..EVERYTHING is Trump’s fault..heck I bet they blame this on Trump for putting the embassy in Jerusalem, remember how the commie media hated that
How many tens of millions of Americans want more death penalty, and not after decades on death row?
Answer: More and more millions. This shooting will only increase the number.
Commiepukes have overplayed their hand already and doing it more and more each day. They are like cornered crazy rats.
Of course we need the death penalty..we need to take that piece of sh*t and hang him period
He is so pro Trump that he came to dislike him. This man is was trying to be an example to Donald Trump's inner self....
Yes, we don't want to become Africa, a collection of savage tribes fighting each other.
In the Rwandan war, the Hutu called the Tutsis “cockroaches”. It's easier to practice genocide against “cockroaches”.
I hope we don't want to sink to dehumanizing all enemies.
The Commie media, who DESPISE Israel’s existence and always side with the Palestinians..are ones to talk about Jew hate
I think this guy read Farrakhan’s tweets about being anti termite and went with it..meanwhile he’s still allowed on twitter since he’s a big commie lib
