(Pittsburgh, PA) Law enforcement in Pittsburgh is investigating a recent threat against Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor that was broadcast over police communication channels. KDKA began hearing what appeared to be Nazi songs over the police scanner yesterday afternoon and then heard a death threat against Mayor O’Connor. According to Allegheny County 911, local police broadcast channels were hacked by what appears to be a pro-Nazi group. Police are now investigating what was described as a robotic voice that made the death threat. Police communications were interrupted by the Nazi songs and messages praising the former Nazi leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler.
