At least eight people were killed and six others injured in a shooting Saturday morning at a synagogue in a Pittsburgh neighborhood known for its Jewish population, CBS Pittsburgh/KDKA reports. The suspected shooter was identified as Robert Bowers, 48, law enforcement sources told CBS News and KDKA. Bowers surrendered and was taken into custody.

Bowers burst into the Tree of Life synagogue and indiscriminately fired in the building while shouting, "All Jews must die," police sources told KDKA. Four officers were shot during the incident, officials said. Their injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.

Bowers was armed with a possible AK 47 and two pistols and had barricaded himself in a room at the synagogue, a law enforcement source told CBS News.

And they ARE militant, too. I’ve never been verbally assaulted online as rabidly as I have been by anti-circumcision folks. They seem incapable of discussing it rationally.

Yeah, this. Seriously, it’s enough to make me wish for the apocalypse just to get it over with. I am starting to think we’re done here, and I’m generally pretty optimistic.
