4 Dead, Several Others Shot At Pittsburgh Synagogue
KDKA ^ | 10/27/18

Posted on 10/27/2018 8:02:22 AM PDT by Simon Green

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.

More Donald J. Trump‏ ‏ @DonaldTrumpCC 29s29 seconds ago Events in Pittsburgh are far more devastating than originally thought. Spoke with Mayor and Governor to inform them that the Federal Government has been, and will be, with them all the way. I will speak to the media shortly and make further statement at Future Farmers of America.

Because too many times, on too many posts, there have been Freepers who just don’t “get” sarcasm. Need to point it out all the time.

Yes. This idiot was a loon and despised President Trump.

The #NeverTrump stuff will get buried.

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.

Person who found and posted it in RB2 said it got changed after he copied the info. Seems to be a site that anyone can edit. So I don’t know if the moslem was original or not.

I just turned off the local news because they are already pushing the White Supremacist theory. Not one singe mention of Muslim or Islam.

It is not actually sarcasm in effect there in this case in that it is a pretty accurate representation of real events and stated intentions.
