Two days before the U.S. Department of Justice convened law enforcement and other leaders in Washington, D.C., to explore successful practices and the challenges in identifying, investigating, and reporting hate crimes, a tragic and senseless attack on a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, took the lives of 11 people at worship and injured seven others. Two police officers and two SWAT officers were among the wounded.

This report is dedicated to those impacted by the horrific events at the Tree of Life ? Or L'Simcha Congregation that day, along with all of the individuals and communities scarred by hate crimes.
