Truck driver convicted of killing 11 people at synagogue in 2018 terror attack | US News
A truck driver has been convicted of killing 11 people at a synagogue in the deadliest attack on Jews in the US.
As well as the 11 people killed in the attack, seven others were wounded – five of them police officers.
Robert Bowers, 50, had faced 63 charges, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of the free exercise of religion resulting in death.
The guilty verdict was not in doubt after his lawyers conceded at the beginning of the trial that he attacked and killed worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on 27 October 2018.
He had opened fire with an assault rifle and other weapons.
