matter of minutes. they were here celebrating life when they lost their own. riddled with gunfire, pittsburgh's tree of life synagogue is home to heartbreak and carnage, believed to be the deadliest attack on jews in u.s. history. >> we are pinned down by gunfire. >> reporter: the first shots rang out around 9:45 saturday morning. police say robert bowers used three handguns, like the ones he posted about on social media, and an ar-15 like this one. avi soriano was inside, too shaken to speak on camera. >> as i come into the chapel when services are going on, that's when i turn and i see the gentleman laying down, facedown on the floor, blood was coming out of his head. and i still hear pow pow pow pow pow pow. >> investigators say bowers gunned down his victims in three rooms, methodically moving floor to floor, before he was met by

gunfire from the police before leaving the building. >> had bowers made it out of the facility there's a strong possibility additional fatalities would have occurred. >> reporter: inside the synagogue he was shot multiple times. court documents say he told police, they're committing genocide to my people, i just want to kill jews. 11 people were murdered. the oldest victim, 97 years old. rabbi chuck diamond consoled survivors. >> they heard what sounded like gunshots, smelled gunpowder. >> reporter: on bowers' social media, a history of anti-semitic hate speech. and this post before the shooting, i'm going in. >> the fact that this attack took place during a worship service makes it even more heinous. >> reporter: it's unclear why the suspect chose this synagogue, a day of worship becoming a massacre. miguel almaguer, nbc news, pittsburgh. >> the suspect, 46-year-old robert bowers, is expd the sho.

what are some of the charges against bowers? >> reporter: those 29 complaints or charges are detailed in a federal complaint filed yesterday, five pages in length. the biggest are the 11 murder charges. but the federal government has been treating this as a hate crime. if you look at the rest of those charges, a number have to do with obstructing or impeding a religious ceremony or service. the federal government treating this as a hate crime. you have that, the federal complaint, in complement with a local complaint, a state complaint as well, detailing what miguel was talking about, what this gun man allegedly said when he came into the synagogue on saturday morning. the reprehensible language that he used to refer to members of that community. as you say, the suspect is expected to be in court today 1:30 p.m. eastern time. he has been hospitalized since this attack took place. he sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was brought to the hospital. he's been held under guard there. he's been described as being in

critical condition, but law enforcement in a wrenching news conference yesterday detailed how they have been able to speak that led them to investigate both his house, his apartment in baldwin, pennsylvania, and his vehicle as well. at that news conference you had the u.s. attorney for the western district standing alongside the fbi special agent in charge. take a listen to what the u.s. attorney for the western district in pennsylvania had to say. >> i want to commend the courageous police officers and s.w.a.t. teams who responded to the scene. they are truly heroes who, without hesitation, without concern for their own safe ity, ran toward gunfire to protect innocent victims. by confronting and neutralizing bowers, they prevented additional loss of life. >> reporter: marley and frances, we've heard that time and time again from members of the community, the speed with which law enforcement reacted to the first calls of gunfire at the synagogue behind me here in squirrel hill in pittsburgh, and the way that local, state, and

federal law enforcement officials have worked together since that attack took place. >> david, i'm sure investigators are looking heavily into his anti-semiticseenonline, especia last tweet that last posting saying, will go in. what are they saying about that? >> reporter: this is going to be a rich trove of information. they went to his apartment, they looked at his vehicle, but this digital footprint is of particularly keen interest to them. a lot of these comments were made on a social media site called began that's notorious for hate speech. this is giving them more information of what might have led him to this synagogue, 25 or 30 miles away from where he lives. >> dave, anything that we're hearing from the families now that are coming forward in a very difficult time? >> reporter: absolutely. and it's almost a cliche at this point when you talk to people who live in this neighborhood, they describe it as being very close-knit.

at that news conference yesterday you had the chief medical examiner for allegheny tye are, listing all 11 names of the victims, noting somberly the ages of them as well. as miguel mentioned just a moment ago, the youngest, 54. the oldest, 97. but folks here knew who those victims were beforehand, they weren't telling us their names, but they were known to people here. the nephew of one of those victims spoke about trying to get in touch with the victim in the aftermath of that attack. >> the phone call just kept going through. he wasn't picking up. it is a nightmare. it's kind of a fog. you know, i've -- i've been touched by a lot of people on social media. and, you know, it's just hard right now. >> reporter: folks in this community really reckoning with what happened here on saturday. there were big vigils on saturday, another vigil last night, trying to come to terms with what happened here. >> all right, david, thank you. now to a history-making

season that has reached its sweet end for the boston red sox. >> from the top on down, here comes the 1-2 pitch. and the sox win the world series! 5-1 the final tonight. >> boston defeats los angeles in game five to win their fourth world series title in 15 years. let's get to the highlights. boston's steve pearce launched this two-run bomb in the first to put the sox on board. the dodgers answered back with this solo to make it a one-run game. in the sixth mookie betts going yard off clayton kershaw. kershaw would give up another to j.d. martinez in the seventh. in the eighth steve pearce made it a two-inning homer and ultimately the championship. pierce won series mvp, and for a second straight year the dodgers go home from the world series empty-handed. >> an exciting night.

it's the middle of the country, in a quiet, peaceful, tree-lined place where violence happened of a kind that we could not imagine. i must say, i draw strength from my identity and from that community. and i think everybody there does as well. and so we should be hopeful. but it was inconceivable to me that something like this could have happened, and as peaceful and lovely a place as my home neighborhood. >> that is the toughest part, i think, if it could happen there, it could happen with us as well. >> such a tightknit community, and so resilient. coming up later this morning, savannah guthrie will anchor "today" live from lester holt will also be there for "nbc nightly news." >> thanks for waking up with
