UPDATE | Suspect in killing of 11 at Pittsburgh synagogue acted alone, FBI says


Associated Press

The man suspected of killing 11 people at a Pennsylvania synagogue was not known to law enforcement, an FBI official said today.

Bob Jones, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s office in Pittsburgh, says investigators believe Robert Bowers was acting alone.

He says Bowers’ full motive still isn’t known.

Jones said the scene of Saturday’s shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation was “the most horrific crime scene I have seen” in 22 years with the FBI.

Police say 11 people were killed and six people, including four police officers, were injured.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has decided to go ahead with his Illinois political rally tonight.

He’d considered canceling it because of the Pittsburgh synagogue attack in which at least 10 people were killed.

But in remarks to young farmers in Indiana, Trump said “we can’t let evil change our life and change our schedule.”

He says he’ll go with a “heavy heart.”

Earlier, the president called the attack at a baby naming ceremony on Saturday morning a “wicked act of mass murder” that “is pure evil, hard to believe and frankly something that is unimaginable.”
