Social Media Site Connected to Synagogue Shooter Loses Hosting, Funding

Synagogue shooter Robert Bowers was a regular poster to the social media website Gab, even posting in the minutes leading up to his deadly attack that left 11 people dead.

"HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics. I'm going in," said Bowers in his last post on Gab before he opened fire on congregants celebrating a bris in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh's largely Jewish Squirrel Hill neighborhood.

He sent his post to Gab at 9:49 a.m. Police received the first 911 call about the shooting at 9:54 a.m., just five minutes later.
