Pittsburgh: Active Shooter Confirmed Near Tree of Lights Synagogue In Squirrel Hill. Update: 8 dead, shooter arrested
Police from across the city have descended to the area, that is still very active. The synagogue is located on the corner of Wilkens and Shady Avenues. KDKA is working to confirm more details of the incident.
KDKA’s Meghan Schiller reports that a suspect, a heavy-set white male with a beard, has surrendered. The SWAT team had been talking with the suspect, and he was crawling and injured. It is unclear the extent of his injuries. KDKA sources confirm to Andy Sheehan that the suspect’s name is Robert Bowers. Pittsburgh Police spokesman Chris Togneri confirmed that the suspect was in custody and three police officers had been shot. He also confirmed multiple causalities, but did not divulge exactly how many. Police sources tell KDKA’s Andy Sheehan the gunman walked into the building and yelled, “All Jews must die.” Posted by: Besoeker 2018-10-27 |
