Suspect in 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Faces Trial, Possible Death Penalty

Federal prosecutors recounted the deadly attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 as the trial of the gunman, Robert Bowers, began Tuesday.
Bowers faces 63 charges for killing 11 worshippers, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death.
Bowers' defense acknowledged he carried out the attack but is questioning whether he acted out of hatred or irrational belief in hopes of avoiding the death penalty.
Survivors and witnesses testified about their experiences during the attack, which one called "felt like a year."
The trial is a reminder of a rise in antisemitism and mass shootings in the U.S. in recent years, even as people struggle to remember many attacks.
