Services mark first anniversary of gun attack that killed 11 worshippers in Pittsburgh synagogue

Tom Wolf, the Governor of Pennsylvania, said: “Today, we remember those lost and come together as a commonwealth to stand united as neighbours.”

A minute’s silence will be held during the Pittsburgh Steerlers’ Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins.

A public commemoration ceremony also took place at Pittsburgh’s Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, where a vigil was held a day after the attack.

Jewish leaders chose the theme of “Remember, Repair, Together” for Sunday’s services, which also included community service projects and study sessions of the Torah.

Robert Bowers, 47, has been charged with 29 criminal counts, including use of a firearm to commit murder. Prosecutors are understood to be seeking the death penalty.
