Some of the congregants were gathering for = a baby-naming ceremony in the synagogue which had not yet started when the = massacre began to unfold. No children were among those injured, authorities= said.
"I heard the gunfire"
Five victims remained ho= spitalized Sunday evening, including two in critical condition, said Dr. Do= nald Yealy, chair of emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Med= ical Center. He said the two in critical condition were a 40-year-old SWAT = team member and a 70-year old man who is the chaplain at UPMC-Presbyterian.=
Dr. Leonard Weiss, assistant EMS medical director for the city of Pi= ttsburgh, lives next door to the synagogue and told ABC News on Sunday that= the gunfire woke him up.
"I started hearing yelling. Then I rea= lized it was very close by," Weiss said. "My first thoughts were = to get safe. But I knew that my role with the city and my role in my job is= to find out what's going on and respond."
He said he called the= emergency dispatch center to find out where the staging area was, then ale= rted his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center of the a= larming situation.
"Then I dressed up. I got as much equipment a= s I could together, and put my boots on and I went outside," Weiss sai= d. "I immediately wa suspicious when I heard the gunfire that there wo= uld be several casualties. It took a long time for the scene to get safe an= d for us to get a specific count on who was injured."
He said po= lice officers escorted him to the staging are, where he helped direct ambul= ances to the scene and paramedics to the scene. He recalled checking on one= victim with a bullet wound who was being rushed to the hospital in bad sha= pe.
He said that once the gunfire subsided and the wounded had been r= emoved from the synagogue, he went to the threshold of the temple and looke= d in.
"I saw several damaged windows. I could see a lot of upset= ting things in the chapel that was beyond that threshold," he said. &q= uot;I was able to visualize some of the victims who lost their lives.

"I felt very emotional,&qu= ot; he said. "I felt scared for myself and for my family and my neighb= ors. I felt scared for my city that it could happen here. And, [I] felt es= pecially proud and worried about my colleague paramedics that risked their = lives to go right in and pull people out while the action was unfolding.&qu= ot;
He said it wasn't until Sunday morning that he heard one of the v= ictims killed was Rabinowitz, a family physician and colleague at the UPMC = Shadyside Hospital.
Police snipers used their house
Kim and Ken= Hardin, who live across the street from the synagogue, said they heard the= shots and quickly ushered their children and a friend of theirs into the b= asement and away from windows.
"We heard five repetitive shots. = I stepped out on my porch and I heard three additional shots and within min= utes police started to arrive," Ken Hardin told ABC's "Good Morni= ng America" on Sunday. "Police started to park in front of our ho= use. They were shielding themselves with their car. So we realized the situ= ation was pretty serious."
He said five officers knocked on his = back door and asked to use their second floor to position snipers.
&q= uot;The five police officers went upstairs, asked that I open the windows i= n our bedroom and obtain a chest-high dresser," Ken Hardin said. "= ;So I found one in my son's room. A police officer and I took the drawers o= ut and dragged the dresser right in front of the window and they perched th= eir rifles on top of the dresser toward the synagogue."
Kim Hard= in added: "We did see shootng taking place. Our youngest son said that= he saw a police officer get shot. I don't know whether or not that he did.= It was certainly traumatic for a 10-year-old to see police withso many wea= pons and to hear the gunfire."
"Darkest day in Pittsburgh's= history"
The Anti-Defamation League said it was "unconscio= nable for Jews to be targeted during worship on a Sabbath morning." "This is the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the histo= ry of the United States," it said in a statement.

The shooting rattled nerves across the countr= y and globe and prompted an outpouring of support and condolences.
In= New York, the Empire State Building went dark except for an orange halo on= the mast to honor the victims. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower also went dark i= n homage to the victims.
Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said the city o= f Pittsburgh will stand by the victims' families and help them get through = the tragedy.
"Pittsburgh is a strong town. We are a resilient ci= ty," Peduto said at Sunday's news conference. "We'll get through = this darkest day in Pittsburgh's history by working together."
