The man accused of shooting dead 11 people inside a Pittsburgh synagogue, an incident described by prosecutors as “a horrific act of violence”, has appeared in court in a wheelchair where 29 charges were read to him aloud. Robert Bowers, 46, who is said to have written a number of racist and antisemitic social media posts before carrying out the rampage, was wheeled into the court in handcuffs and was asked if he understood the charges levelled against him. CNN said that Mr Bowers, dressed in a blue shirt, briefly had the handcuffs removed so he could sign legal documents.
