澳彩开奖 statement on tragic shooting at synagogue in Pittsburgh
Today, we saw another horrific act of hate at a house of worship 鈥� this time, the murder of at least eleven congregants at Pittsburgh鈥檚 Tree of Life Synagogue by a man who reportedly shouted 鈥淎ll Jews need to die鈥� before he opened fire.
Editor's Note: This statement has been updated to reflect most recent reporting.
It reminds us of the slaughter of nine African American worshipers at Charleston鈥檚 Mother Emmanuel Church in 2015, the killings of six Sikh worshipers at a temple聽in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in 2012, and, of course, the bombing of Birmingham鈥檚 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963 that left four young African American girls dead.
The violence in Pittsburgh follows on the heels of a string of attempted pipe bombings by a white supremacist who targeted frequent critics of President Trump.
Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of the most recent shootings.
