At least 11 people have died and at least 6 more are injured after a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
A gunman opened fire during prayer services Saturday morning at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill, a neighborhood that's been home to Jewish families for nearly a century, according to Pittsburgh Magazine.
Law enforcement officials have identified the suspect as Robert Bowers, 46. Local CBS affiliate KDKA reported that he shouted "all Jews must die" as he opened fire.
The victims, who range in age from 54 to 97, include a family medicine doctor and a couple who were married at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 1956.
On Saturday evening, thousands of community members gathered for a candlelight vigil to honor those who were killed and injured. Here are 15 moments photographers captured during the gathering.
