   PITTSBURGH --

   A police official says there are "multiple casualties" in a shooting
   near a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

   near the Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
   He said the public should "shelter in place" and report any unusual
   activity.
   Pittsburgh tweeted that there is an active shooter in the area of
   Wilkins and Shady avenues, and the synagogue is at that intersection.
   The congregation's president declined to comment.
