From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 29 October 2018

Yesterday's shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh may have been the deadliest attack on Jewish people on American soil. Eleven people were murdered and several others injured. Investigators told reporters that the shooting would be investigated as a hate crime. US president Donald Trump has described the shootings as 'an evil anti-Semitic attack.' The New Zealand Jewish Council is appalled by what happened. Juliet Moses is a spokesperson for the council.
