A law enforcement official has identified the suspect in a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue as Robert Bowers.
The official said Bowers was in his 40s.
The official wasn’t authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Authorities said the gunman opened fire during a baby naming ceremony Saturday morning at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
City officials said six people, including four police officers, were injured. They said several people were also killed.
The synagogue is located about 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh in a neighborhood that is the hub of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community.
