The man who allegedly shot up a Pittsburgh synagogue Saturday and killed 11 people in what is likely the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history was later treated by Jewish medical staffers for his wounds. “The irony of all this is that the first people that took care of him were all Jewish,” Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, the president of Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, said in a Fox News interview Monday. The mass shooting suspect, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, was reportedly shot multiple times as law enforcement responded to the attack and was then taken to Allegheny General for treatment. Cohen is a member of the Tree of Life–Or L’Simcha synagogue that was attacked, he told the Pennsylvania-based Tribune-Review. Cohen lived nearby and heard the noise from the attack and police response.
