Please Be Aware
Jack D. Molloy, indicted last week for lying to the FBI and supporting terrorism, had his arraignment in federal court this week. Molloy waived his detention hearing with the option of filing a motion for release at a later date. In the interim, Molloy remains detained. We will keep you posted on any changes.
So far in 2025, we have logged 7 incidents in our Virtual Command Center. This compares to 1 for 2024. The seven incidents referenced largely consist of reports of antisemitic flyers, and washers (hardware) found on the steps of several Squirrel Hill homes with antisemitic rhetoric handwritten on them. We continue to collaborate closely with law enforcement to monitor potential threat activity. Please continue to report any suspicious incidents via the Incident Report Form.
