PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – Security is ramping up in Pittsburgh’s Jewish community in response to a deadly shooting in Washington, D.C. A young couple, employed at the Israeli Embassy, were gunned down after leaving an event at a Jewish museum. The suspect reportedly yelled “Free, free Palestine” after being arrested. Pittsburgh is home to the deadliest attack on Jewish people in American history. The incident in D.C. comes days after antisemitic fliers were dropped in Squirrel Hill and a week after a woman pleaded guilty to vandalizing a synagogue.
