it is imperative that the neighbours in the community surrounding the tree of life synagogue stay in es and shelter in place. do not come out of your home right now, it is not safe. we will give you an update as soon as we get one. police say they found a number of people sheltering in the synagogue basement, who they were led to safety. as the area was made safe, emergency teams were able to recover the injured and the dead. my heart goes out all of these families. they should not be happening — period. it should not be happening in a synagogue. happening in our neighbourhood here in squirrel hill. after a shoot out with the police the gunman gave himself up, but he's left yet another american community scarred by gun violence. president trump has been speaking about the attack, at a convention of young farmers in indianapolis. he called the shooting a wicked act of mass murder. and he said that the vile, hateful poison of anti—semitism must be condemned wherever it appears. but as you know, earlier today, there was a horrific shooting targeting and killing jewish americans at the tr

it's been a week of hate-fueled violence in the united states, from the mass shooting at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh that left 11 jewish fo worshipers dead, to the trump supporter who mailed bombs to more than a dozen critics of the president. but there was another attack that received far less attention. a white man killed two african-american customers at a kentucky g grocery store l lastk after r unsuccessfulully tryingo enter a predominantly black church. >> he e did not realize it was m until l he yet s seen the gun ny inside dust by his side. he said, whitestone kill whites. amy: "whites don't kill whites." we will go to louisville for the latest. then we speak with a guardian reporter who has closely tracked the rise of the far right in the united states. and we speed to the jewish led refugee organization hias, the hebrew immigrant aid society. shortly after saturday's synagogue attack, the gunman wrote on a far right social media site -- "hias likes 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."

president used, evil, unimaginable as he was condemning this mass shooting we saw at the tree of life synagogue. and something we're now hearing the president repeat throughout the day, something he said earlier at joint base andrews, he is calling for an expeditious death penalty, of course in the event of a conviction of the shooter. >> anybody that does a thing like this to innocent people, that are in temple or in church, incidents with churches, they should be -- they should really suffer the ultimate price. they should pay the ultimate price. i felt that way for a long time. some people disagree with me. i can't imagine why. but it has to stop. >> speaking of the future farmers of america, he talked about trade deals with mexico and canada, indiana farmers in particular are concerned about tensions with china, the number one consumer of their soybeans, now down $2 a bushel with tensions over the tariffs. the president promised them simply that we will win. he did not mention cesar sayoc or the arrest or the bomb scare that gripped the nation during the course of last week, he briefly touc
