On 27, October, 2018, Robert Bowers, then 46, allegedly walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and began shooting at worshippers.
He killed 11 people before he was shot and wounded and surrendered to police. Bowers was found guilty on 63 federal counts, including 11 counts each of obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death as well as hate crimes resulting in death. He has since been ruled eligible for the death penalty. He pleaded not guilty.
