Pittsburgh synagogue gunman has been sentenced to die in the nation's deadliest antisemitic attack

PITTSBURGH — The man who killed 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue was formally sentenced to death Thursday, one day after a jury determined that capital punishment was appropriate for the perpetrator of the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.

U.S. District Judge Robert Colville ordered death by lethal injection for Robert Bowers, a 50-year-old truck driver whose vicious antisemitism led him to shoot his way into a place of worship and target people for practicing their faith.

''I have nothing specific that I care to say to Mr. Bowers,'' Colville said from the bench. ''I am however convinced there is nothing I could say to him that might be meaningful.''
