Right before 10 a.m. Saturday, authorities said, suspected gunman Robert Bowers drove a green Hyundai Sonata to the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill.

He began shooting before 9:45 a.m. as services were underway at Tree of Life synagogue, they said, and police were called to reports of shots fired.

Bowers was armed with an assault rifle and at least three handguns. The FBI said it appears he entered the house of worship and opened fire and then was confronted by police as he tried to leave.

He is being charged with 29 federal counts, including 11 counts of use of a firearm to commit murder. He is also charged with 11 counts of obstruction of the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death and other counts, according to NBC News.
