According to local media, "Police have requested that residents stay inside their home as they have exchanged gun fire with a suspected gunman." 

Among those shot are least two police officers, but it is unclear whether not they are among the deceased. 

Based on initial reports, it appears the gunman barricaded those inside the Synagogue before ambushing police as they arrived on scene. It is unclear who the shooter is or what possible motives he or she may have had.

This story will be updated as details come in.
