Law enforcement in Pittsburgh is investigating a threat against Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor that was broadcast over police communication channels.

On Monday afternoon, KDKA began hearing what appeared to be Nazi songs over the police scanner, and then heard a death threat against Mayor O'Connor. Similar messages were heard over the police radio Tuesday morning as well.

Police are investigating what was described as a robotic voice that made the death threat. Police communications were interrupted by the Nazi songs and messages praising Hitler. One of those messages contained a death threat against "the Pittsburgh mayor," multiple government sources say.

The mayor's office says it will not comment on the mayor's safety protocols, and a spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Safety said it is "aware of the issue and we are in contact with the Allegheny County emergency services, which is working to rectify the problem."
