This morning, an active shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill murdered at least seven eleven people, possibly more, in an intentional act of hate. Four responding officers have been wounded as well. The killer surrendered to police and is now in custody.
Please keep Pittsburgh’s Jewish population in your thoughts, and continue to demand stronger action to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would commit hate crimes.
