The police in Pittsburgh reported “multiple casualties” after responding to a report of an active shooter at a synagogue Saturday morning, a police commander said.
Chris Togneri, a spokesman for the Pittsburgh police department, said that three officers had been shot and that the suspect was in custody.
The commander, Jason Lando, told CNN that “right now we have multiple casualties, we’re working the situation.” It was not immediately clear how many other people had been shot.
Erika Strassburger, the city councilwoman for the district that includes the synagogue, the Tree of Life Congregation, said it was not immediately clear how many other people had been shot.
Ms. Strassburger said the gunman had previously been barricaded inside the building.
UPDATE:
"Survivors described hearing the gunman shout anti-Semitic abuse as he entered the building."
I'm betting the fucktard is a Muslim moron. Muslim don't like Jews. I never met a Muslim who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.
UPDATE:
It wasn't a Muslim. The murderer is an American asshole, and most likely a big fan of President Fucktard Trump.
There are at least 10 dead and at least 3 getting surgery right now.
UPDATE:
The fucktard is a Christian bible thumper. According to the Christian bible "Jews are the children of Satan." (John 8:44)
I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.
Wikipedia - Pittsburgh synagogue shooting
The gunman reportedly yelled "All Jews must die!" before opening fire.
It was reported that three people were killed on the ground level, four in the synagogue's basement and at least one other person died in the building. Four police officers were also shot. The majority of the victims were transported to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and UPMC Mercy, while the suspect was sent to Allegheny General Hospital.
His Gab profile description was "jews are the children of satan. (john 8:44) --- --- the lord jesus christ is come in the flesh" and a photo that had the number 1488 (a term used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists referring to the slogan said by David Lane: "We must secure the existence of our race and a future for white children" and the Nazi slogan Heil Hitler). Bowers reposted other content by other anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, and Holocaust denier users.

What I wrote at the New York Times:
We can't throw out the 2nd Amendment but we can make owning a AR-15-style assault rifle against the law.
This is another good reason to vote for Democrats.
