Edward A. Fallert and James D. McGee. are Pittsburgh Police Detectives and are currently assigned to the Violent Crime Division. Together we have a combined 55 years of law enforcement experience and have been detectives for the past 42 years. During our tenure we have conducted thousands of investigations involving violent crimes to include murder. aggravated assault and robberies involeng ?rearms or other deadly weapons. The information contained in this af?davit was learned directly by your af?ants or by other law enforcement of?cers who assisted in this investigation. On Saturday. October 27. 2018 at approximately 0954 hours 911 dispatch received multiple calls to the Tree of Life Jewish Synagogue. located at 5898 iMlkins Avenue. Pittsburgh. 15217 for gunshots being ?red. At that time multiple people were in attendance at the Tree Of Life Synagogue and engaged in religious services and worship. Callers inside the Synagogue reported an active shooter inside the location ?ring gunshots and relayed that they were being attacked. Zone 4 Of?cers responded to the scene. Of?cers 1 and 2 arrived on scene and observed a male who was anned with an assault-style ri?e. This male. who was later identi?ed as Robert BOWERS. opened ?re on Of?cers 1 and 2. who then returned ?re. During the exchange Of?cer 1 was shot in the hand. Of?cer 2 received several cuts to his face from shrapnel and broken glass. Bowers then retreated further into the building. Pittsburgh SWAT formed a small team and entered the structure. inside the Synagogue, they observed that BOWERS had shot and killed multiple victims (11 in total which consisted of 3 women and 8 male victims). Two victims (1 female and 1 male) received gunshot wounds and were carried by SWAT Medics and Of?cers to the exterior of the building. They were then transported by Pittsburgh Paramedics to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital for treatment and are now listed as being in stable condition. In the course of the deadly assaults. BOWERS proceeded to the third ?oor of the building. SWAT operators entered the thIrd floor of the building. While searching for any remaining victims. Swat Operators encountered Bowers, who opened ?re on the of?cers. During the gun?re, Of?cer 3 was shot multiple times and critically wounded. Of?cer 4 was also shot multiple times by the actor. The remaining SWAT Operators engaged the suspect in a gun battle in which multiple rounds were exchanged. Swat Operators carried the injured of?cers to the exterior of the building and both Of?cers were transported by Pittsburgh Paramedics for treatment. During the exchange of gun?re Bowers was wounded. While in custody and receiving medicatl treatment BOWERS made statements to SWAT Operator David Blahut that he wanted all Jews to die and also that they (Jews) were committing genocide to his people. Based on the forgoing your af?ants aver that there Is probable cause to charge Robert Bowers with 11 counts of Criminal Homicide for the victims located inside the Synagogue, also 6 counts of Attempted Homicide and 6 counts of Aggravated Assault for the 2 victims who were shot inside the Synagogue by Bowers and the 4 Of?cers who were shot by Bowers during his rampage. Your af?ants also believe that probable cause exIsts to charge Bowers with 13 court of Ethnic intimidation for the Homicides and Assaults that he committed based on what Bowers himself described as his hatred for ?Jews?.
