On Saturday a gun man killed 11 worshippers in Pittsburgh at a synagogue and he may face the death penalty. This man is facing charges in not only state court but also federal; killing 11 and injuring 6 this may be the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in the history of the U.S. After the shooting, the suspect was then taken into custody and taken to the hospital. As a part of the 6 people that were injured four of them were law enforcement officers and two were luckily released on Monday. At the same time as the SWAT was trying to get the shooter to surrender they were also aiding the other officers.
This situation reminded me of the shooting of the church with the three little girls. Although it is not the same exact situation because not only was the encounter with the little girls based on color and religion it was still around the same idea. This man stated it wasn't on religion but others say it may have had a religious motive, why else would it have been a synagogue. therefor, in both cases innocent people were basically murdered for no other reason besides their religious beliefs.

I don’t understand why religion, political beliefs, race, or gender should be a motive to kill. We can all live even if not everyone thinks the same way as we do.
