Pittsburgh Residents Mark One Year Since Massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue

HeadlineOct 28, 2019

In Pittsburgh, residents gathered Sunday to mark one year since the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue, one of the worst anti-Semitic attacks in U.S. history. On October 27, a gunman armed with an AR-15 assault rifle opened fire inside the Squirrel Hill synagogue, killing 11 worshipers. Just ahead of the shooting, the alleged gunman, Robert Bowers, posted a racist screed echoing President Trump’s language about an “invasion” of immigrants. He faces a 63-count indictment and the death penalty.
