The US President Donald Trump has called for the death penalty for whoever is behind a shooting in Pittsburgh, Evening Standard reported. 

"I think one thing we should do is we would stiffen up our laws with guns with the death penalty,” the US President told reporters adding "when people do this they should get the death penalty."

As reported earlier, a suspect has been reportedly detained, while eight people have been killed and three police officers injured as a result of a synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.
