On October 27, 2018, during Shabbat services at the Tree of Life synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, 97-year-old Rose Bubbie Goldberg Mallinger was killed in a mass shooting. She had been a member of the congregation for over 60 years and was attending services with her daughter, Andrea Wedner, who was wounded in the attack and survived.

The gunman, identified as Robert Gregory Bowers, entered the synagogue armed with multiple firearms and shot worshippers in what investigators described as an antisemitically motivated attack. Eleven people were killed that morning and several others were injured. Law enforcement shot Bowers multiple times before taking him into custody.

Bowers was charged in state and federal court with numerous counts, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of the free exercise of religious beliefs. A social media history attributed to him showed antisemitic and white supremacist postings, including attacks on the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, which one of the congregations had recently supported.

Did anyone in the community attend services with Rose or remember her at Tree of Life?
