Three Jewish congregations in Pittsburgh are still waiting for justice four and a half years after the massacre that changed everything.
Justice is being sought in a 2018 mass shooting that left 11 worshippers dead.
Four and a half years ago, a gunman invaded the Tree of Life synagogue on a Sabbath morning and killed 11 worshippers from the three congregations that shared the building. The shooting was the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.
One co-president called it a "deliberate, thoughtful, proactive measure to remember, honor and memorialize the events on Oct. 27, 2018."
"The power of hugging and uplifting each other, it’s just so assuring and gives me strength.”
