Remembering the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting

Remembering the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting

Today marks a solemn day of remembrance in our Commonwealth. Five years ago today, a shooter armed with an assault rifle attacked a Pittsburgh synagogue, killing eleven worshipers and wounding six others.1 It was the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in American history.

And today we process the shock of yet another mass killing in Lewiston, Maine.
