Suspicious carnage synagogue Pittsburgh denies everything

pittsburgh - The man suspected of killing eleven visitors to a synagogue in Pittsburgh has pleaded his innocence in all 44 cases for which he has been charged. 46-year-old Robert Bowers said Thursday not much in the court, only that he understands the charges and denies guilt.

Bowers, who distributed anti-Semitic texts via social media, has been charged with, among other things, hate crimes and firearms crimes.

He urged the authorities to enter the Jewish house of prayer on Saturday and tried to shoot as many attendees as possible. He himself was slightly injured by a police bullet.
