President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence tweeted out messages of support following reports of a shooting at a synagogue in Pennsylvania that left eight people dead on Saturday.
"Events in Pittsburgh are far more devastating than originally thought," Trump tweeted. "Spoke with Mayor and Governor to inform them that the Federal Government has been, and will be, with them all the way. I will speak to the media shortly and make further statement at Future Farmers of America."
Earlier, the president posted:
"Watching the events unfolding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania," he tweeted. "Law enforcement on the scene. People in Squirrel Hill area should remain sheltered. Looks like multiple fatalities. Beware of active shooter. God Bless All!"
"Monitoring reports of shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh," Pence tweeted. "Praying for the fallen, the injured, all the families impacted, and our courageous first responders. God bless them all."
