and candles outside the building, and share their sense of disbelief that a hate crime ere has touched them so closely. we have seen stars of david show up outside the synagogue here just in the past few hours, with names of all of the 11 who have lost their lives. a vigil to honor the victims is eaking place right now, just about ten minutes from here. those killed range in age from 54 to 97. oour of the six people injured were police officers. david begnaud begins our coverage. >> reporter: the mayhem started just before 10:00 a.m. saturday morning. inside the tree of life synagogue in the squirrel hill neighborhood of pittsburgh. three different congregations were worshipping in separate rooms. >> reporter: the alleged shooter, identified as robert bowers, was armed with an ar-15 style assault weapon and three glock handguns according to police.

police say he opened fire on the main floor, and then he went downstairs, where another congregation was gathering in the basement. and there he unleashed more gunfire, according to authorities, killing 11 people and wounding six others in the horrific attack. officers arrived on scene minutes later and engaged bowers at the front door, as he was fleeing the synagogue, screaming, "i just want to kill jews." he went back into the building and continued shooting. >> reporter: bowers allegedly injured two of the first responders. he then barricaded himself in a third floor classroom. as swat teams moved in, the breadth of the carnage became clear. >> reporter: the victims range

in age from 54 to 97. three were female; eight were male. two of the wounded were found barricaded in the basement. it was the deadliest rampage against the jewish community in american history. tactical teams found bowers on the third floor just before 11:00 a.m. he had allegedly shot two more officers multiple times. >> first round fired. possible shots fired. >> reporter: on the calls, police say bowers can be heard opening fire on the officers. >> reporter: ten minutes later, he was wounded and forced to surrender. >> reporter: even in custody, police say bowers continued to spew his hateful rhetoric. >> reporter: many of you have

i still need to praise the officers for what they did. they ran into danger. they ran into gunfire to help others. ou many a, reporter: many of you have asked this on social media: why the suspect hasn't been charged with domestic terrorism. so i asked the u.s. attorney today, who is prosecuting the case, and here is what he said: "domestic terrorism is when somebody pushes a specific ideology using violence." in this case, they say the guy was really just motivated by hatred, and that, jeff, is why they charge him with a hate crime. if he gets convicted, he could get the death penalty. >> glor: by hatred. david begnaud, thank you very much. we are learning much more tonight about the 11 people who hied here yesterday. targeted simply for practicing their faith. among the 11, there were two brothers, one married couple: a professor and a doctor. 65-year-old richard gottfried had a successful dental practice, and had just celebrated his 38th wedding anniversary. both in their 50s, brothers cecil and david rosenthal were at services every week.

cecil loved to greet people at the door. dr. jerry rabinowitz ran a family medical practice. one of his patients wrote that he always took time with each of his patients. "there was no rush to get out of his office. it was like i was the only patient he had." the oldest of the victims, 97- year-old rose mallinger was almost always the first to walk into services, and was described by a relative as "the most caring, gentle, loving woman." daniel stein recently became a grandfather. his nephew said, "he was somebody that everybody liked." melvin wax was a retired accountant, and was known for his generosity. he was described by those who knew him as a pilar at the tree of life synagogue, performing many roles there. the married couple were bernice and sylvan simon, both retired and both liked to take walks around the neighborhood. irving younger was a realtor and loving grandfather. his close friends said, "they loved to exchange jokes, mostly jokes about jews making fun of themselves." joyce feinberg was an assistant

at the university of pittsburgh research center and was known for her distinct memory. she never forgot anyone's birthday. she was always available for whatever one might need. 11 lives taken away, inside a house of worship. earlier today, we spoke with two couples: ruth and seymour drescher, deane root and rabbi doris dyen. three of them narrowly avoided possibly being victims themselves. >> we noticed that-- as we were walking, one of the panes of glass-- there were shards of glass all over the sidewalk. and at the same moment, we heard ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom, ba- boom. and then-- and then deane said: >> i said, "it is coming from inside the building. it's active gunfire." run-- we ran to the car, dialed 911. >> reporter: you saw them only because you were arriving late. >> i was driving in, and i see them waving and saying, "get out, don't go in." i said, "what are they talking

about? why would they want me to get out?" and then somebody else came running out, and said, "there are guns, guns going off inside." >> if we had been there three minutes earlier-- maybe two minutes earlier-- >> we couldn't be talking to you. >> we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be talking to you. >> glor: deane, i noticed just before the interview started, you were holding your wife's hand, you were also holding sy's hand. >> the way to respond... in the moment of trauma... is to reach out to those we love. >> yeah. >> it just seems so... painfully, brutally ironic that a hate crime takes those who share love first. >> glor: the most love. >> yeah. >> glor: how does this impact your faith? >> funny you should ask. i usually say morning blessings.

and i started saying the ones that i usually say, and i realized i couldn't say them. and i just talked to god directly, and i said god, "i'm really having trouble here. i cannot pray. because i'm broken. and i can't pray." >> what troubles me equally of the messages that are out there- - that are coming from our leadership-- that give people who have such inclinations the permission to do great evil. >> when something has been torn, a life has been torn away, and the lives of the people who survived it have been torn. just rendered, and you can't just say, "well, get over it, because we'll think and pray about other things, or something in the future will happen that will be heeled."

you first have to feel the pain in all its power, i think. >> glor: we want to thank ruth and sy, and also deane and rabbi doris for their time. they felt it was important that people heard what they're dinking today. >> reporter: critics argue the president has consistently failed to show moral leadership at the wake of hate-filled >> the most terrifying thing is just how normal he seemed. >> reporter: the 46-year-old had no criminal record beyond a traffic violation. robert jones is leading the investigation for the f.b.i. >> we continue to conduct interviews, scrub social media, review possible surveillance camera video, and exploit digital media to determine how and why bowers committed this terrible act. >> reporter: bowers social media footprint shows that he was stirring with hate. he had an account on gab.com, a website popular among the alt- right and white nationalists.

about a month ago, he posted a tscture of three glock handguns, calling them "my glock family." ll his bio, he wrote "jews are the children of satan." using derogatory language, he said president trump was rrrrounded by jewish people. he also appeared to be obsessed with a group called, "the hebrew immigrant aid society" or hias, which helps refugees settle in the u.s. nn his last post before the shooting, bowers wrote, "hias hkes to bring invaders in that kill our people. i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. screw your optics, i'm going in." did you know or did anyone in the organization know that he was obsessed with hias? mark hetfield is the president knd c.e.o. of hias. o we had no idea he was obsessed with hias until after the attack happened. rut we should have known it. >> reporter: why do you say that? >> well, because he was all over social media, admittedly it was on gab, which we do not follow. and that's a problem. we're going to have to start

following these outlets-- unfortunately, which tolerate hate speech. >> reporter: hetfield says one of the congregations that was attacked yesterday supports hias programs, but it is unclear if that is why bowers targeted the synagogue. also in a statement, gab.com said that it disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence, and that it defends "free expression." jeff? >> glor: all right, jeff pegues, thank you very much. president trump did not waiver in his condemnation of the synagogue attack. he strongly denounced all forms em anti-semitism. then, he kept talking. here's paula reid. >> reporter: today, the president and first lady greeted rsick-or-treaters at the white house, after saying "an act of rste should not force the annual event to be canceled." in indiana yesterday, he indemned the massacre. >> there must be no tolerance for anti-semitism in america or ror any form of religious or racial hatred or prejudice. >> reporter: but moments later, he was making jokes.

ut maybe i should cancel this arrangement, because i have a bad hair day. >> reporter: critics argue the president has consistently failed to show moral leadership in the wake of hate-filled incidents, such as the august 2017 white supremacist rally in charlottesville. >> you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people-- on both sides! >> reporter: democratic congressman adam schiff says the president has created a toxic climate. d the tone that he sets is one of division, often one of hatred, sometimes one of incitement of violence against journalists, and there is no escaping our collective nsponsibility. >> reporter: but vice president mike pence denied a connection between the president's rhetoric nnd political violence. >> frankly, people on both sides of the aisle use strong language onout our political differences. but, i just don't think you can connect it to threats or acts of violence. >> reporter: president trump said yesterday that he believes having armed guards at the

synagogue would have stopped the attacker, but the mayor of pittsburgh disagree. he says that gun control measures are a better way to s op this kind of violence. jeff? >> glor: paula, thanks very much. we'll have much more from here in pittsburgh coming up. the rapid rise of hate crimes in the u.s. .s. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai. diarrhea is common, may be severe,
