PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Police from across the city of Pittsburgh are responding to an active shooting situation at the The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill.
KDKA’s Andy Sheehan reports that at least four people have been confirmed dead, possibly as many as 7 to 8 could be dead.
Police have requested that residents stay inside their home as they have exchanged gun fire with a suspected gunman.
When officers arrived the gunman reportedly shot at them, forcing officers to use their vehicles as a shield.
Two police officers were reportedly shot.
The Synagogue was reportedly full of people for a Saturday service and police say they’ve received several calls from people barricaded inside the Synagogue.
Several people have been rescued, but police are still trying to rescue others.
Nearby Carnegie Mellon University was also reportedly on lockdown, students receiving texts telling them to stay inside.
Mayor Bill Peduto is rushing to the scene.
There will be at least one, maybe two more mass shooters between now and election day.
Maybe one at a polling place. The Deep State hasn’t tried that tactic yet.
Now comms is talking about ‘device on the floor’
I agree, sounds like a second shooter cornered on third floor, breaching mentioned, flash bangs, K-9, robots, military style package, EOD... this is not over
Effing sad.
Comms now says SWAT’s about to make a big move along with EOD to 3rd floor.
Clearing two more rooms, asking to keep radio open for emergency ops
Is the shooter a foreign national Muslim?
According to police, the suspect’s name is Robert Bower.
Refuah shelemah for all injured and affected.
Forget flash bangs. Toss in some frags.
Not yet but it is still early. Don’t forget about the gun that did this on its own
Drone deployed
sounds like they’re using an armed drone now... I was in Philly when they bombed the MOVE house and burned a city block of row houses back in the 80’s - Hope they learned some since then
That MOVE thing was some serious fustercluck.
Yep. That was Mayor Wilson Goode.
Cops checking tango vehicle now .. sure hope they didn’t rig it to blow :-\
Wow!
Negative > vehicle cleared
Wasn’t it just last week that ol’ Louis Farrakhan was referring to Jews as termites? So now we hear the shooter walked into the synagogue screaming “ all Jews must die.”
Haven’t heard any immediate statements wanting an apology from Farrakhan due to his rhetoric, or BARRACK OBAMA, disassociating himself from Farrakhan.
If they’re sure he’s alone in the room and cornered, send a robot in with a bomb and blow it up.
