A gunman who attacks Jews kills 11 in the Pittsburgh synagogue







PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - An armed man shouting, "All Jews must die," burst into a synagogue in Pittsburgh during Saturday's service, killing 11 worshipers and wounding six other people, including four policemen, before they will arrest him. 

Robert Bowers, 46, of Pittsburgh, was arrested after a gun battle with a SWAT team. Federal prosecutors charged him with 29 criminal charges, including crimes of violence and firearms, and violating US civil rights laws. 

"The actions of Robert Bowers represent the worst of humanity. "We are dedicating all of my office's resources to this investigation and prosecution of federal hate crimes," the US attorney told reporters. UU For western Pennsylvania Scott Brady. 

Earlier, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said federal prosecutors could seek the death penalty. 

FBI special agent Bob Jones said the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which heads the investigation, said the crime scene was the worst he had seen in 22 years with the FBI. He said he believed Bowers was acting alone, adding, "We have no knowledge that he was known to the police before today."  

KDKA television quoted police sources as saying that Bowers entered the building and shouted: "All Jews must die." 

Bowers had made many anti-Semitic messages online, including one early on Saturday. In another, it struck the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for not doing anything to stop a "infestation" of the United States by the Jews. 

Jones said Bowers was armed with an assault rifle and three pistols. He said authorities believed that the suspect entered the synagogue, killed the faithful and left when he encountered a uniformed police officer. The couple exchanged gunfire, Jones said, and Bowers re-entered the building before a SWAT team arrived. After a shootout, he surrendered. 

Bowers was taken to a hospital where he was in good condition with multiple gunshot wounds. Among the victims of hospitals in the area are a 61-year-old woman, a 70-year-old man and a 55-year-old officer. No children died, authorities said.  

Three police officers were shot and one was wounded by shrapnel, authorities said. Two of the six injured people were in critical condition. 

FIND AGAINST 'INVADERS' 

A social media publication by Bowers on Saturday morning said that a Jewish refugee organization, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, "likes to attract invaders who kill our people." I can not sit down and watch how they kill my people. Screw your optics, I will enter. " 

The comment was posted on Gab, a social networking service based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, created as an alternative to Twitter. In a statement, Gab.com confirmed that the profile belonged to Bowers and also said that it had suspended the account and contacted the FBI about it. 

The mass shooting triggered security alerts in houses of worship across the country. Follow a series of pipe bombs found in recent days to prominent political figures, mostly Democrats, including former President Barack Obama. 

The synagogue of the Tree of Life in the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, a very Jewish area, was holding a religious service on Shabbat at the time of the shooting.  

Police are usually only present in the synagogue for security reasons on holidays, the former synagogue president Michael Eisenberg told KDKA.

"On a day like today, the door is open, it is a religious service, you can enter and exit," he said. 

Around that time, three congregations totaling about 100 people would have been using the building, Eisenberg said. 

Shortly after reports of the shooting broke out, Trump said in a tweet that he was observing what he described as a "devastating" situation.  

Trump told reporters later that the killings could have been avoided if there had been an armed guard in the building.  

"If they had some kind of protection inside the temple maybe it could have been a much more different situation, they did not," he said when asked if there was any link to the gun laws of the United States.  

He also called the shooting an evil act of pure evil, called on Americans to overcome hatred and ordered that the United States flags in the White House and public buildings be blown to half the staff. He said he would visit Pittsburgh, but he did not say when.
