Well Mark…Officials have described Saturday's shooting as the deadliest attack ever on the Jewish community in the United States.
The suspected gunman, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, is in custody.
He frequently posted anti-Semitic comments on his social media and even posted "I'm going in" just an hour before his rampage on the morning service.
He also reportedly shouted "all Jews must die" as he carried out the attack.
He killed 11 people and injured six people, including four police officers, before being arrested.
Bowers has been charged with federal hate crimes and could face the death penalty.
He is currently in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds after a shootout with police.
He is said to be in fair condition and is scheduled to appear before a judge on Monday afternoon, local time.
The incident marks another mass shooting in the United States.
President Trump denounced the attack, but said that the shooting had little to do with U.S. gun laws.

"Little to do with it if you take a look if they had protection inside the results would have been far better…..".

The attack prompted security alerts at houses of worship around the country and condemnation from politicians and religious leaders.
It also follows a recent spate of pipe bombs that were sent to prominent Democrats and Trump critics.
