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.

#2 seems very plausible for the fake bomber. I base all my opinions on real evidence as much as possible. So far I haven't seen evidence of interaction between (for example) the FBI and the fake bomber. But the threshold to push that sort of person into the action seems to be quite low. The materials are easy to get. The fake bombs are easy to make. The fake bombs are safe to construct and handle. They are easy to drop in a mailbox.

I think #2 is harder for a shooting operation although still plausible. Las Vegas comes to mind.

A couple of years ago I would not believe the FBI could be that corrupt. Now I am no longer under any such delusions. Still I would like to see a bit more evidence from the fake bomber case.

Backing of my assertion that the Synagogue shooter is a #NeverTrump Jew-hater.

Alex Jones has been predicting election related false flag shooting and bombing for weeks. People hereabouts who are not devotees pf conservative websites all assume it is Democrat operations.

Laz, you are turning out to be a prophet. Sure hope you are wrong about more of these tragedies happening!

That was my first impression. He seems, as does the Pittsburg shooter as someone who argues heatedly with libs who then say grimly something like, “If you are truly so sure then why don’t you do something about it and be a real man?”

Based on his Twitter posts as screenshot by Pam Geller, he was NOT a Trump supporter. Lucky she got screen shots because the leftists who control Twitter and Facebook will pull these down before the public has the opportunity to check out his anti-Trump stance.

I anticipate that they will step up their game massively on Wednesday or Thursday of next week so that whatever happens will last the entire weekend news cycle. If they don’t turn things around Pretty soon they are looking at a total wipe out on Tuesday.

I agree, more evidence would make my case more compelling.

Someone noted to me, on this thread, Concerning the violent events of the last few days.... that Project Veritas has a video recording of a Democrat operative stating that they have 'kooks on file, ready to use when needed.'

That would pretty much cinch my case.

We have been on that watershed since November 2016. The left is moving closer and closer to open armed rebellion as they lose in manufactured situation one after another and get progressively more unhinged. All of their tried and previously true tactics are backfiring on them and they can’t understand what is happening and must keep trying what must fail. The neoBolsheviki are just that, neo. They cannot emulate the grim and controlled determination required. They cannot keep their eye on the long goal when the immediate world keeps shattering for them.

The shooter will help Trump, anyway. Everybody I hear in this area, including people who have paid no attention to politics and normally could not care less, assume it is a Democrat operation. There is a lot of buzz where I am working even while it is ongoing.
