Prosecutors say Bowers, 46, was armed with multiple weapons, including a Colt AR-15 rifle and three handguns, when he opened fire inside the Tree of Life Synagogue in the city of Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighbourhood on October 27 during a morning service.
The attack left 11 people dead and several others injured, including police officers who were trying to rescue victims and confront Bowers.
