The long-delayed capital murder trial of Bowers in the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre will begin in April 2023, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Robert Colville issued an order Monday setting the trial date for April 24, when jury selection will begin. Bowers, armed with a rifle and three handguns, is accused of shooting 18 people and trading gunfire with officers, getting shot three times before he was taken into police custody.
