A protest has been organized in response to Pittsburgh City Council’s legislation introduced last month to ban certain types weapons and ammunition, following the Oct. 27 mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill.

Public officials say they are ready for anything, but do not currently expect major disruptions in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Chris Togneri, spokesman for Pittsburgh Public Safety said, “The city’s guiding principle will continue to be protecting people’s First Amendment rights while ensuring safety for all, including protesters, motorists who might be affected by road closures and all other city residents and visitors.”

Grant Street in front of the [City-County Building] will be closed if needed
