Statement on Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting

On October 27, 2018, a domestic terrorist attacked Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In response, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:

"My heart aches for the victims, their families, friends, and all those touched by this unspeakable tragedy. Hate will not win, and it is up to all of us to call out and snuff out bigotry and intolerance. I stand in solidarity with the Tree of Life congregation, the City of Pittsburgh, and entire Jewish-American community."
