Eight people were killed after a man opened fire on a
Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday.
The shooter entered the Tree of Life
Congregation Synagogue and yelled 'All Jews must die,' according to KDKA, a
local radio station.
The shooter has surrendered to law enforcement authorities,
and is said to be wounded. The shooting happened during the weekly Shabbat
services when the building would have been full of people.
Michael Eisenberg, the past president of the Tree of Life
Synagogue, said about 95 people would have been in the building as at the time
the shooting occurred.
Local news outlets in Pittsburgh are reporting that the
shooter is Robert Bowers, a white male in his 40s who expressed far-right and
white supremacist views on his social media accounts. .
His last post before the shooting took place was an attack
on HIAS, a Jewish-American organization that helps refugees in the U.S. and
around the world.
They won't call him a terrorist because he's not Muslim. America!
Peace to the dead...
