A raft of charges have been filed against a man who, police say, entered the synagogue carrying four firearms. Witnesses say he shouted anti-Semitic remarks before firing. Three police officers were shot while stopping the suspect.
Outpourings of support from across the country began immediately after the shooting. Meanwhile, law enforcement in several cities increased its presence near synagogues and houses of worship. As another day begins in Pittsburgh, we hear how the city is responding.
