BREAKING: At Least 8 Killed At Pittsburgh Synagogue, Injured Gunman Surrendered
Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA reported on Saturday morning that a suspect in an active shooting has surrendered after police responded to a synagogue in Pittsburgh where at least 8 people have been confirmed dead, possibly more and several sustained injuries.
According to officials, the situation started at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill.
KDKA reports the gunman shot at officers as they arrived, forcing them to use their vehicles as shields. Three police officers were reportedly shot.
The synagogue was full of people for a Saturday service, and authorities received multiple calls from those inside.
As a safety percaution, nearby Carnegie Mellon University was reportedly on lockdown, with authorities asking those who live in the neighborhood to stay inside their homes.
