A Pittsburgh police officer identified Robert Bowers as the rifle-toting man he confronted on the morning 11 worshippers were killed at a synagogue in October 2018
Officer Michael Smidga, testifying at Bowers’ federal death penalty trial, said he briefly made eye contact with the gunman after arriving at the Tree of Life synagogue. “I saw a rifle coming out through the doorway,” said Smidga, a police officer since 2006 and a combat veteran. First, he saw the barrel, followed by a shoulder strap. “I waited for the person with the rifle to present himself in the doorway,” Smidga said. “I saw that man right there.
Throughout the first week of trial testimony prosecutors have released video of survivors in police vehicles and images from the scene, including a Jewish prayer book damaged with a bullet hole, shattered glass on the ground outside the synagogue, and a kippah and prayer shawl on a carpeted floor inside. Prosecutors said Bowers carried out the October 27, 2018, attack because of his hatred for Jewish people and their perceived support of a non-profit that supports refugees.
