An indictment of the man who killed 11 people in the synagogue

Prosecutors said Robert Bowers, 46, is accused of crimes involving using weapons to commit murder and obstruct the exercise of religious beliefs.

Prosecutor General Jeff Sessions said charges of hate crimes “could lead to the death penalty” would also be raised by authorities.

Police say Bowers, equipped with semi-automatic rifles and three pistols, entered the synagogue “Three of Life” in Pittsburgh on October 27th and shouted “all Jews must die” and then opened fire.

At least six other people, including four police officers, were injured before authorities could arrest the suspect.

Authorities say the suspect has been taken to the hospital after being wounded during his confrontation with police officials.

Officials say Bowers had posted anti-Semitic positions on right-wing social media platforms, including a post shortly before the attack.

These posts refer to false conspiracy theories suggesting that the Holocaust where six million Jews died is fraud.

American President Donald Trump has told reporters he will travel to Pittsburgh, but has not provided more details.

Trump has condemned what he described as a hate “act” and praised law officials for “the extraordinary operation”. He also said such attackers should be sentenced to death.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, president of France, Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, are among the world leaders who have condemned this attack.
