New: 11 dead in Pittsburgh, officials confirm just now. Six injuries, including four police officers. ADL says this is likely the deadliest attack against the Jewish community in America's history.
Two of the officers were wounded right when they showed up to the scene; the other two were SWAT members wounded by the gunman inside the building, police say.
FBI: “We have no knowledge that Bowers was known to law enforcement before today." They believe he acted alone.
The shooting is being investigated by the FBI as a hate crime.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf: "We simply cannot accept this violence as a normal part of American life.”
"Please know that justice in this case will be swift, and it will be severe." --U.S. Attorney Scott Brady for the Western District of Pennsylvania, who expects charges to be filed against Bowers as soon as today.
The gunman was shot (probably by police) and is in the hospital. There are no children among the dead.
Local officials "not aware" of security at the synagogue.
