Calls began coming in to 911 from the synagogue just before 10am on Saturday, reporting “they were being attacked”, the document said. Two other people in the synagogue, a man and a woman, were wounded by Bowers and were in stable condition, the document said. Bowers told an officer while he was being treated for his injuries “that he wanted all Jews to die and also that they [Jews] were committing genocide to his people”, the affidavit said.
