4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2018 Survivors recall deadly attack on Jews at synagogue By MARYCLAIRE DALE, CLAUDIA LAUER and ALLEN G. BREED Associated Press PITTSBURGH — The man accused in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre was released from a hospital and turned over to federal author- ities for a court appearance today on charges he killed 11 people in what is believed to be the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. Federal prosecutors set in motion plans to seek the death penalty against Robert Greg- ory Bowers, 46, who was shot and wounded in a gun battle with police. Authorities say he expressed hatred of Jews during the rampage and later told police that “I just want to kill Jews” and that “all these Jews need to die.” The first funeral — for Cecil Rosenthal and his younger brother, David — was set for Tuesday. Survivors, meanwhile, began offering harrowing accounts of the mass shooting Saturday inside Tree of Life Synagogue. Barry Werber said he found himself hiding in a dark storage closet as the gunman tore through the building and opened fire. “I don’t know why he thinks the Jews are responsi- ble for all the ills in the world, but he’s not the first and he won’t be the last,” Werber, 76, said Sunday. “Unfortunately, that’s our burden to bear. It breaks my heart.” The weekend massacre — which took place 10 days before the midterm elections — heightened tensions around the country, coming just a day after the arrest of the Flor- Robert Bowers AP Photo/Matt Rourke A person pauses in front of Stars of David with the names of those killed in a deadly shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. ida man accused of sending a wave of pipe bombs to critics of President Donald Trump. The mail bomb attacks and the bloodshed in Pittsburgh set off debate over whether the corrosive political rheto- ric in Washington and beyond contributed to the violence. The attack spurred a num- ber of fundraising efforts. A crowdfunding campaign called Muslims Unite for Pittsburgh Synagogue raised more than $90,000 for sur- vivors and families, while a fundraiser led by a graduate student in Washington had taken in nearly $545,000 as of Monday morning, with funds to go to the congregation. Bowers killed eight men and three women before a tac- tical police team tracked him down and shot him, author- ities said. Six other people were wounded, including four officers. He apparently posted an anti-Semitic message on a social media account linked to him just a few minutes before the rampage. The Anti-Def- amation League called it the deadliest U.S. attack on Jews. Three congregations were conducting Sabbath services in the synagogue when the attack began just before 10 a.m. in the tree-lined residen- tial neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, about 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and the hub of the city’s Jewish com- munity . Speaking at a vigil in Pitts- burgh on Sunday night, Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers said about a dozen people had gathered in the main sanctu- ary when Bowers walked in and began shooting. Seven of his congregants were killed, he said. “My holy place has been defiled,” he said. In the basement, four members of New Light con- gregation were just starting to pray — with two others in the kitchen — when they heard crashing coming from upstairs, looked out the door and saw a body on the stair- case, Werber recalled in an interview. Rabbi Jonathan Perlman closed the door and pushed them into a large supply Fall Craft Fair AFFORDABLE PRICES UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNTS MINIMAL WAIT TIMES 2222 Exchange Street, Astoria • 503-741-3183 Saturday, November 17th 10 am-5 pm Divorce need not be expensive.

As gunshots echoed upstairs, Werber called 911 but was afraid to say any- thing, for fear of making any noise. When the shots subsided, he said, another congregant, Melvin Wax, opened the door, only to be shot. “There were three shots, and he falls back into the room where we were,” Werber said. “The gunman walks in.” Apparently unable to see Werber and the other congre- gants in the darkness, Bowers walked back out. Werber called the gunman “a maniac” and “a person who has no control of his baser instincts.” The youngest of the 11 dead was 54, the oldest 97. The toll included a husband and wife, professors, dentists and physicians.

Bowers was a long-haul trucker who worked for him- self, U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said. Little else was known about the suspect, who had no apparent criminal record. Bowers was charged with 11 state counts of criminal homicide, six counts of aggra- vated assault and 13 counts of ethnic intimidation. He was also charged in a 29-count fed- eral criminal complaint that included counts of obstruct- ing the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death — a federal hate crime — and using a firearm to commit murder. Of the six survivors, four remained in the hospital Sun- day night, and two — includ- ing a 40-year-old officer — were in critical condition.
