The man accused of killing 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh reportedly left messages on a small social media service. The suspect, Robert Bowers, was charged with 29 crimes, including hate crimes, related to the attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The attack on the Jewish religious center also injured at least six others, including four police officers. On the morning of the shooting, a person using the name of Robert Bowers posted an anti-Semitic message on a social media service called Gab. The message targeted a Jewish nonprofit group called HIAS. The group seeks to help refugees around the world. The message said: “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people.” The post continued, “I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered…I’m going in.” Officials said Bowers called out "All Jews must die," before he fired at people inside the synagogue.
