Crazy anti-Semitic hateful pos terrorist kills 11 at Synagogue in Pittsburgh
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/27/us/pi...ter/index.html
Eleven people were killed Saturday morning when a gunman stormed the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and opened fire on the congregants inside, officials said.
A law enforcement official told CNN the suspect was identified as 46-year-old Robert Bowers.
It's believed the suspect made anti-Semitic statements during the shooting and targeted Jews in posts on social media that are a focus of the investigation, according to a federal law enforcement official.
"These incidents usually occur in other cities," Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich told reporters Saturday afternoon. "Today the nightmare has hit home in the city of Pittsburgh."
Six people were wounded as a result of the shooting, said Hissrich, four of whom were police officers who responded to the scene. No children were among the dead, he said.
"It's a very horrific crime scene," he said Saturday morning. "It's one of the worst I've seen."
Live updates: Mass shooting at Pittsburgh synagogue
Shots fired shortly before 10 a.m.
Saturday morning's violence rocked the city and the historic Jewish neighborhood surrounding the synagogue, which one congregant described as "close-knit."
Jim Waite, who lives across the street from the synagogue, said he walked outside after hearing a commotion. He assumed it was a car accident. A police car flew past him; another officer yelled to get inside. Waite said he heard more than five -- possibly as many as nine -- shots from inside his home.
He said he could hear screams from inside the synagogue.
The Allegheny County Emergency Operations center received calls of an active shooter at 9:54 a.m. ET, Hissrich told reporters. Officers were dispatched a minute later.
According to Bob Jones, FBI special agent in charge of Pittsburgh office, the suspect was in the process of leaving when he encountered a Pittsburgh police officer who "engaged him." The officer was subsequently injured, and the suspect went back into the synagogue, where he hid from SWAT officers who arrived on the scene.
In all, two police officers and two SWAT officers were wounded in the confrontation, Hissrich said. Three of them were shot, according to the city's public safety department.
The suspect also suffered multiple gunshot wounds, but is in fair condition, Hissrich told reporters. CNN previously reported the shooter surrendered to police and was taken to Mercy Hospital.

Investigators recovered a rifle and three handguns from the scene of the shooting, Jones said. Authorities believe the suspect acted alone, and he said law enforcement had no knowledge of Bowers prior to the shooting.
Authorities could bring criminal charges against the suspected gunman by the end of the day, said Scott Brady, the United States attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in a news conference Saturday afternoon.
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions also said in a statement the Department of Justice "will file hate crimes and other criminal charges against the defendant, including charges that could lead to the death penalty."Little Dreamer
