Shooting
On October 8, 1977, guests who attended a bar mitzvah were leaving Brith Sholom Kneseth Israel synagogue when white supremacist Joseph Paul Franklin began shooting at them, killing Gerald Gordon, and wounding Steven Goldman and William Ash.[4][5] In 1997, Franklin, who was now serving multiple life sentences for other crimes, was found guilty of capital murder for killing Goldman and sentenced to death. He was executed on November 20, 2013.[6]
