Robert Bowers named as Pittsburgh shooting suspect who 'believes Donald Trump is controlled by Jews'

The man suspected of killing 11 people during a baby-naming ceremony at a US synagogue has been named and pictured by US media.

Robert Bowers reportedly burst into the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in Pittsburgh carrying multiple weapons before unleashing bullets on terrified worshippers.

Bowers, in his 40s, also reportedly yelled 'all Jews must die' and was shouting antisemitism statements.

It is believed he acted alone. He is in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds.

It's not clear if he was shot by police or the wounds were self-inflicted.

A Pittsburgh City official told a news conference 'the scene is very bad inside' the synagogue.

Bowers surrendered to police after exchanging gunfire with officers who confronted him when he ran back inside the synagogue to hide.

Authorities say he was injured and crawling.

The killer had posted anti-semitic messages on a right-wing social network moments before the attack, according to reports.

Writing on Gab, he allegedly posted: “HIAS (a Jewish organisation that supports refugees) 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.”

Six people have been injured - including four police officers - in the tragedy which has rocked America.

Pittsburgh public safety director Wendell Hissrich looked close to tears at a press conference this evening in which he confirmed 11 people died at the scene....

I think they got me, too.

I’ve had 2-3 bagels this past week and I support the state of Israel.

Coincidence? I think not!

What right wing site would that be? Isn’t that a little suspicious?

Robert Bowers (D-Pittsburgh) was a Trump Hater, just like all leftist democrats.

I am sure he will be speechless, when he meets the King of the Jews, but I suspect the King will have much to say, like depart from me.

Nice mention of Gab. I guarantee they’ll shut down Gab over this and Twitter will go back to be a de facto monopoly.

Something called Gab, which I'd never heard of before yesterday.

Well, we know he does his best to do the bidding of at least one Jew; his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

This killer needs the death penalty, but the reasons he gave for this slaughter remind me of some one in Norway.
Anders Behring Breivik, who on July 22, 2011, killed 77 people in Oslo, Norway. Breivik was also angered by open immigration permitted by the politicians.

Prepare yourselves, in case those on the left bring this up, trying to tie the two together. Both insane men should be put to death.

Gab is not right wing, they are not anti-right wing.

I have an account there, have heard they are in trouble with their web supplier. May be closing.

I’ve not checked in for months.

It is not a substitute for Twitter as far as function. They are generally friendly and not packed with ComDem Trolls.

It’s a free speech site, which I guess is now synonymous with right wing, since the left wing wants to do away with it.

Just went over to GAB, Got this message:

Gab.com is under attack. We have been systematically no-platformed by App Stores, multiple hosting providers, and several payment processors. We have been smeared by the mainstream media for defending free expression and individual liberty for all people and for working with law enforcement to ensure that justice is served for the horrible atrocity committed in Pittsburgh. Gab will continue to fight for the fundamental human right to speak freely.

As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely.

"He is in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds."


To be chanted to the beat of the famous Hillary chant, "Lock Her Up!":


        "Pull the plug!"    "Pull the plug!"    "Pull the plug!"...

The man who kills Jews thinks Trump is in cahoots with the Jews. The Jews in Pittsburgh want to ban Trump from the city. The guy can’t win; everything is his fault.
