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.
Between the rage of the left, and the coordination of the Deep State, I expect one or two more mass shootings between now and election day. In fact, I would not be surprised if one of the shootings occurs at a polling place. The Deep State hasn’t tried that one before.
I tell you this,
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.
How many shooters will be wearing MAGA hats? Or have brand new Trump bumper stickers?
Dude, it's only been 10 minutes.
Give them another 5.
Was he yelling Aloha Snack Bar during the shooting?
The Florida bomb nut and now a synagogue shooting? Just days prior to a big historic election? Very inquisitive.
I almost hate to say this, but this is a very progressive synagogue, openly calling for a “change of government” in the midterms. Not looking good...
I expect a black church to be next.
Yep, this type of event sometimes spur another.
Yes, that is the one I referred to, by Laz.
Dreadful.
I think I understand, but barely.
An assasination attempt against a Supreme Court justice?
This is crazy, but we are at a watershed. If Republicans hold the house, an excellent chance the Republic will last another generation. The "Progressive Project" could follow the other socialist systems into the dustbin of history.
If the Democrats take the House, no legislation for two years.
People on the Left are desperate to stop the restoration of Constitutional government.
Sadly anyway, the shooter having been Muslim would probably help Trump in the midterms.
I don’t care right now; this polarizing politics is going to hurt a lot of innocents. We need to come together like we did after 9/11. I’m done with this crap. I don’t hate the left; I find they are simply either drawing very wrong conclusions about how to govern human beings, or they are wholly gullible dummies who suck up and believe everything cool people on tv say. I don’t hate them and I don’t want them killed.
I want to share the country with people of all stripes who legally belong here and don’t want to kill people who are different. It’s not ok to get to the point, right or left, that the other side should die. Innocent men, women and children die from this hatred. Gd made us all. This is just wrong.
An American Prayer. Lovely reference.
Hmmm. Will there be a white Dodge van with pro Trump stickers precisely placed belonging to a “registered republican” and a stalwart NRA member? 3.....2......
Too true.
The ravings of a real sicko.
Paging davey hogg please pick up the blood spattered courtesy phone.
Muslim?
He'll be reported as a white supremacist who hated Jews and posted on Gab, which is where all the white supremacists go after getting kicked off Twitter.
The media will allow everyone to draw their own conclusions. Most people will by default assume Robert Bowers is a Trump supporter.
The media will not correct this assumption.
