A gunman opened fire on Jewish worshippers at a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh on Saturday, leaving 11 people dead according to US media, in what appeared to be one of the worst anti-Semitic attacks in American history.

The shooter — identified by media as a 46-year-old white man — reportedly yelled anti-Jewish slurs as he launched the attack at the Tree of Life synagogue during a baby naming ceremony.

The suspect was taken into police custody and transferred to hospital.

Dozens of people were gathered during Sabbath services at the time of the attack, which federal investigators were treating as a hate crime.
