    PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Eight people have been killed and a number of others injured after a shooting situation at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill on Saturday.

    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.” Sheehan’s sources confirmed that eight people were dead. Others had been shot, but the extent of their injuries in unknown at this time.

    Looks like there were signs that this could have been averted if his posts were taken more seriously.

    Cops catch a guy with a fresh fired gun who wasted dozens of people. Shoot the SOB right there. Lawyers, jail costs and bullshit can end with that remedy. Unfortunately, families are shattered.
    Trump recommends the death penalty.

    Trump just said there should have been an armed guard in the building and this wouldn’t have happened.

    Civil war followed by anarchy.

    The future is bright for those that demand change!

    There is literally no regard for life by a certain % of the population and this stuff will keep happening. The % will go up with Tiny unfortunately as there is a feeling of empowerment. But it would be nice if things like Twitter were monitored for these type of monsters.

    When politicians/personalities give a voice to these nutjobs, this is the kind of shit that happens.

    The guy is as clueless as he is dumb. Yeah, let's arm every church, school, mall, 7-11 etc. with guards.

    I'm not anti-gun but we seem to be at a point where we need to protect ourselves with guns from all the people with guns?

    Where do we go from here? You can't go to Church, the mall, School, a concert, park, nightclub, store etc.etc etc. without wondering about the people around you. What kind of future will our kids and their kids live in? It's a good thing Amazon delivers everything we need in life, we can now just stay home and protect our four walls... until we can't.

    Use AI to predict threats ahead of time.

    Metal detectors and armed guns everywhere. Also need to punish the families of these shooters some how so there are repercussions.

    At least not as much. I think we are up to around 250 mass shootings since the first of the year.

    It was a synagogue, not a catholic church.

    Some did. Trump has brought these fuckers out of the woodwork. A good percentage of his supporters are anti semantic, racist hatemongers like this asshole. A bunch of pitiful guys afraid of change or anything that is different.
