The sound of booming gunshots and screams echoed through a federal courtroom on Tuesday as the government played a 911 call from the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre on Oct. 27, 2018. Bernice Simon had called on her cell phone to report a shooter loose in the Tree of Life synagogue building. “We’re at Tree of Life, we’re being attacked,” she said to the dispatcher. Her husband, Sylvan, had been hit as the couple sat in the chapel. They had been married in the synagogue some 60 years earlier. “He’s shot in the back,” she said in an out-of-breath voice. The dispatcher told her to stay down and put her shawl on Sylvan’s wound to stop the bleeding. Photo Credit:  Toby Tabachnick/ Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle
