Pittsburgh’s mayor Bill Peduto spoke of the “darkest day in Pittsburgh history”. He thanked also the use of forces and appealed to the sense of community in the city. Pittsburgh had been crises, there is always a by have worked together. “We as a society are better than that. We know that hatred will not win.”
Peduto stressed the traditionally Jewish district of Squirrel Hill, where the “Tree of Life”-the synagogue is located, was characterized by the diversity of its residents – a feature that would have made it especially popular. Peduto: “The people want to live there precisely because there is this diversity.”
The allegations against B. include 29 points, him hate to be accused of a crime.
