This Is Us pays tribute to Pittsburgh shooting victims: 'We stand with out television hometown'

The cast of 'This Is Us' ( NBC )

As America reels from the tragic Pittsburgh shootings that left 11 Jewish worshippers dead, one of the country’s most-watched shows paid homage to the city.

Last night’s episode (31 October) of This Is Us – much of which takes place in Pittsburgh – ended with a title card addressing the murders, calling for an end to gun violence.

Showrunner Dan Fogleman and many of the show's cast, including Mandy Moore, shared the end card on Twitter. It reads: "Our hearts are broken. We stand with out television hometown of Pittsburgh.

"To learn more about ending gun violence visit everytown.org."

The multi-Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series recently began its third season. The series also stars Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chrissy Metz and Chris Sullivan.

The attack on the Pittsburgh synagogue has been called the most deadly antisemitic attack in US history. President Donald Trump recently visited the city, arriving as the funeral of the 11 victims took place.
