New UPDATES On Horrific Synagogue Shooting

As I mentioned a little earlier, President Trump tweeted about a horrific incident at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

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!

We now have more updates to share with you.

Pittsburgh police are now confirming multiple casualties, at least three officers shot and a suspect in custody.

According to Fox News:

The shooting was at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood, which is about 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and is predominantly Jewish. Multiple casualties were reported, according to the Associated Press.

Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety Public Information Officer Chris Togneri told Fox News in a statement that there was an active shooter but declined to make a comment “until the situation is resolved.”

KDKA reported people were barricaded inside the synagogue while residents were told to shelter in place in area.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf tweeted about the active shooting, calling it a “serious situation.”

We are still learning details about the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh but it is a serious situation. @PAStatePolice are assisting local first responders. Please stay away from the area and keep the congregants and law enforcement in your prayers.
