Several people killed in Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, 3 officers shot
A suspect is in custody after multiple people were killed and three officers were shot at a Pittsburgh synagogue, authorities said.
Police responded to reports of active gunfire at the Tree of Life*Or L’Simcha congregation, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety commander Jason Lando.
It is “imperative” that people in the area shelter in place, Lando added.
The synagogue is a conservative Jewish congregation, according to its website, and there was a morning Shabbat service scheduled from 9:45 a.m. to 12 noon today.
President Donald Trump tweeted that he was “watching the events unfolding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania” and urged people in the area to “remain sheltered.”
