Funerals For Victims Of Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting In Photos

See heartbreaking photos from all the funerals and memorials honoring the Pittsburgh synagogue victims this week.

Mourners gathered earlier today for the first of many funerals being held for victims of the mass shooting during services last weekend at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. The rampage, carried out by 46-year-old Robert Gregory Bowers, took the lives of 11 individuals, making it the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history.

Both Pittsburgh's mayor and governor have declined to join President Trump on his visit to the shell-shocked community, after many feel that the U.S. leader is to blame for the rise of hate crimes throughout the country because of his oftentimes hostile rhetoric. Many family members of the slain victims voiced their disdain as well.

Here are the 11 victims who were killed while praying inside the Tree of Life Synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, as we honor and remember each of them in the week since.

Below is a roundup of photos from all the various funerals and memorials since the senseless act of violence in Pittsburgh.
