"ALL JEWS MUST DIE" Yells Shooter at Pittsburgh Synagogue

FILE - The file picture taken just after the liberation by the Soviet army in January, 1945 shows a group of children wearing concentration camp uniforms including Martha Weiss who was ten years-old, 6th from right, at the time behind barbed wire fencing in the Oswiecim (Auschwitz) Nazi concentration camp. The German government has agreed to provide additional financial assistance for child survivors of the Holocaust, who are suffering increasing problems associated with malnutrition and psychological trauma when they were young. The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany said the agreement reached with the Finance Ministry late Wednesday, Sept 3, 2014 would provide one-time payments of 2,500 euros (US$ 3,280) for Jewish children who were in concentration camps, ghettos or spent at least six months in hiding.

Not This Again

Earlier today, a shooting occurred at a Pittsburgh synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood near downtown Pittsburgh just before 10 a.m. EDT. The suspect was taken alive and the authorities have identified him as Robert Bowers, age 46, per multiple media outlets across the country.

As he was firing his weapon, he reportedly yelled many ethnic slurs including ” ALL JEWS MUST DIE.”

Absolutely. Disgusting.

According to USA Today, the scene according to people on the ground was pretty horrific.

Pittsburgh television station KDKA and NBC reported that eight people have been killed and a number of others injured at Tree of Life synagogue. A male suspect has surrendered to police and three police officers were also reportedly shot, according to KDKA-TV.

The FBI is treating the incident as a hate crime and leading the investigation, Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich said.

“It’s a very horrific crime scene,” Hissrich said. “It’s one of the worst I’ve seen.”

The gunman allegedly walked into the building and yelled “All Jews must die!” before opening fire, according to the news station.

Now, I should note that there are various reports of how many people have lost their lives in this shooting. The news conference held earlier did not confirm. We do know that 4 police officers were injured.

This guy is obviously crazy and that they were able to take him alive I guess was a good thing for the purposes of trying to find out what he was thinking. No matter what, if you go shooting into any area where innocent people are you have a screw loose.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this immense tragedy today.

Shalom.
