Synagogue Shooting Trial, Celebrity Pgh Takes & a Stolen Steelers Playbook

It’s the Friday news roundup! The first week of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial is done, and we’re feeling a lot of big feelings about the news coverage. Plus, city councilors weighed in on a reality TV star, and a newly minted Steeler had his car (and playbook!) stolen.

Shoutout to the local journalism that makes our Friday shows possible:

• Lots of local outlets are in the courtroom every day for the shooting trial, including the Trib, PUP, PG, and WESA
• Check out the Jewish Chronicle’s resource list for dealing with trauma
• TMZ broke the story about Scandoval’s run in with Pittsburgh
• Emma Watson’s coming-of-age moment in the Fort Pitt Tunnel
• Jimmy Kimmel and actress D’Arcy Carden talking about how low-key great we are, plus her epic first pitch with the Pirates
• Steve Carell (aka Micheal Scott) on the Office Ladies podcast
• Jeff Daniels waxing poetic about his time in the ‘Burgh
• KDKA’s reporting on Kenny Pickett’s foul play(book)
