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.
KDKAs 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 theyve 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.
Comms just said have tango in a doorway, not safe at this time
police are asking for any local police to please help.

Whoever Ted is thats talking now on Fox News, OMG, promoted well above his skill set.
How long before the media blames this on president Trump, his followers and a gun that went off by itself
I don’t think so...
asking for K-9 to run up the stairs. Prayers for the good guys and pup
asking for dog to ‘run up the stairs for initial clearance’
I this is a Muslim terror attack,blame it on the Mayor who always said how he loves his Muslims. Local news now saying they have a suspect name but will not release it now. Shooters were shouting “all Jews must die!”
Poor Ted seems like a good guy. Greta loved him and he regularly appeared on her show. He was a detective who graduated from Law School and is now an attorney, which seems a bit hard to believe. But still, he is a good guy.
I am so sorry to read this. Terrible.
With all of these attacks, real and fake, plus the invasion of illegals, the internal polls of the DNC/CPUSA party must be REALLY bad for these Hail Mary attempts to influence the midterms.
Prayers up for that pup.....
Sad but true prediction.

From a report on Zero Hedge:
