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.
Do you have a link to his FB page?
Events in Pittsburgh are far more devastating than originally thought
Trump tweet 2 min ago
Remember the shootings at the black church? After that, the confederate flags came down, the confederate statues came down? If this is a Muslim do you think that the symbols of Muslims will be attacked as such?
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have a link for his gab account? I tried searching to no avail.
Either another Muslim terrorist or a deep state election- influencing attempt. Theres always some serious anti- semitism but its mostly from the left wing commies and Nazis and dnc-types at least for the last 100 years or so. A country club conservative might discriminate but seldom shoots innocent people up while theyre praying. A real conservative does neither.
Robert Bowers Gab acct has statements that are very anti Jew.
Calling Trump a globalist, not a nationalist.
There is no #MAGA as long as there is a kike infestation.
Found on Twitter.
Your fear is unfortunately well founded. We are battling pure evil.
One person said his browser gave a trojan alert from that site. Being a techtard, I have no idea. I visited it and no alert, ran Avast, all was okay.
Do we use the n word on FR? I dont believe so. Lets not use the k word either please, unless its in a screen shot of this guys tweets. If you have a chance to edit, use the k word.
I just turned off the local news. Not one mention of Islam,it’s the KKK!
So a non-Trump, fringe psycho.
Unleash the kids from Parkland, HS. Here they come for the guns.

Geller Report.... Info on Robert Bowers.
Gee wonder how long it will take for his name to come out? If it is soon we know he is white. Also notice how they describe him as white? They wouldn’t describe the shooter muzzie or black.
Vote early!
Check post 74 link.
He has stated he did not vote for Trump, nor does he own a MAGA hat.
Doubt it is the same guy. His posts seem to be all about Heavy Metal rock and his friend list include clearly Jewish and Muslim names and East and SEAsians.
Thank you.
