Antisemitic messages, threat toward mayor broadcast over Pittsburgh emergency communication channels

Authorities are trying to find the source of antisemitic messages and a threat toward the mayor of Pittsburgh broadcast over emergency communication channels.

A Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesperson confirmed Nazi music and antisemitic messages started broadcasting at around 2 p.m. Monday. The messages started back up again on Tuesday morning.

Channel 11 listened to the recorded audio files from Monday night and heard Nazi-related songs, messages praising Hitler and a threat toward “the mayor of Pittsburgh.”

We spoke to Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor Tuesday morning, who said, “My biggest concern when I heard them was obviously my family, my two little kids and my wife, but yeah, we’re gonna go on our daily operations, we’re not gonna run and hide.”
