He's been charged with 29 acts. His first hearing is Monday. I don't know how it'll be arranged as he's still in fair condition in the hospital.

PITTSBURGH – Scott W. Brady, United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and Robert Jones, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, issued the following statement today in response to media inquiries:

"On Saturday, October 27, 2018, at 8:05 p.m., U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert C. Mitchell signed a criminal complaint charging Robert Bowers of Baldwin, Pa., with 29 counts setting forth federal crimes of violence and firearms offenses. The crimes of violence are based upon the federal civil rights laws prohibiting hate crimes. The FBI in Pittsburgh is leading the investigation."

The federal complaint alleges that Bowers committed the following crimes on or about October 27, 2018, in the Western District of Pennsylvania:

• Eleven counts of Obstruction of Exercise of Religious Beliefs Resulting in Death (18 U.S.C. §§ 247(a)(2) and 247(d)(1))

• Four counts of Obstruction of Exercise of Religious Beliefs Resulting in Bodily Injury to a Public Safety Officer 18 U.S.C. §§ 247(a)(2) and 247(d)(3))

Jews."

UPDATE: Bowers was charged with obstructing the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death. Federal prosecutors said Bowers was charged Saturday night in a 29-count criminal complaint. It wasn't immediately known if he has an attorney. The charges also include 11 counts of using a firearm to commit murder, weapons offenses and charges alleging Bowers seriously injured police officers while obstructing the exercise of religious beliefs. The charging documents were not immediately available in a federal court records database. Prosecutors have scheduled a Sunday morning news conference to discuss the case.

11 people are dead. Six are wounded including four officers. Robert Powers is in fair condition.

Robert Powers will be charged with a hate crime. He could face the death penalty. He'll be prosecuted at the federal level.

Here are the first seven pages of his deleted Gab account.

FBI searched Robert Bowers' apartment at McAnulty Acres apartment complex 5323 McAnulty Rd in the 5300 block of McAnulty Road in Baldwin Borough of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In nearby Whitehall, local police were present in the 5100 block of Fieldcrest Drive for about an hour, knocking on doors and talking to neighbors. Neighbors said that the man they believe police are investigating frequented a home and cared for a disabled person there. Maybe he's caring for his elderly parents?

Robert Bowers grew up on East Barlind Drive near the South Hills Country Club. He attended Baldwin High School. He was raised by his mother. After she died he was raised by his grandparents. He lived with his maternal grandfather Lloyd Jenkins until he died a few years ago. Robert Bowers was a truck driver. Below is his maternal grandfather.

"JENKINS
LLOYD C.
Age 90, on Monday, December 15, 2014, of Whitehall. As a proud American and veteran, Lloyd fought his final battle against impossible odds. When it was time to say goodbye, he did so with dignity and grace. He is Home now and when we stop grieving, we will rejoice. Lloyd is survived by three daughters, Barbara Bolt (Ray) of New Eagle, Cindy Odorisio (late John Odorisio) of Whitehall and Tricia Fine (Clyde) of McDonald; three grandchildren, Rob Bowers, Bradley Odorisio, and Jennifer Resio (Jay); four great- grandchildren, Kaylee Fields, Zach, Braydon, and Baby Resio; sister, Myrna Snediker (Don) of Tulsa, Oklahoma; as well as numerous loving nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Patricia Ann; parents, Alec and Marie Jenkins; and brother, Wayne Jenkins. Friends will be received at the JOHN F.

Robert Bower's maternal grandmother was Patricia Ann Dennis Jenkins who died August 28, 1993. His mother died before that. Below is grandmother's obituary.

He is registered to vote but there is no party preference.

ORIGINAL: The FBI has identified the alleged shooter as 46 year old Robert D Bowers a resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I could find only one person that matched that description. That person is Robert D Bowers born August 4, 1972. He also uses September 4, 1972. He's lived in Whitehall, Carnegie and Pittsburgh since at least 1993. He is a loner.

Before the shooting Bowers posted on his Gab account that he "can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in." A law enforcement source confirmed to CNN that investigators believe this social media posting and others belong to Bowers and that the language on his account matches the suspected motivation behind the shootings.

In that same posting, Bowers wrote HIAS, a Jewish refugee advocacy group, "likes to bring in invaders that kill our people."

Below are his past and present addresses.
