The man accused in a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue Saturday morning screamed anti-Semitic epithets, including "All Jews must die," as he fired at random, a law enforcement official told USA TODAY.

Bowers, 46, was armed with at least one rifle during the alleged attack inside the Tree of Life synagogue, the official said.

The official said the suspect left a trail of anti-Semitic rants on social media accounts, prompting authorities to designate the FBI as the lead agency to investigate the attack as an alleged hate crime.

Bowers was injured in a shootout with officers. He was taken to the hospital after the shooting, law enforcement officials in Pittsburgh said. He is the only suspect thus far in the investigation.

Tesla’s third-quarter earnings for 2018 saw the California-based carmaker beat Wall Street revenue estimates after posting $6.8 billion in revenue and beating earnings estimates with a GAAP profit of $312 million.

The results, which were posted in an Update Letter to investors after the closing bell on Wednesday, October 24, showed third-quarter earnings of $1.75 per share on a GAAP-basis, shattering analyst estimates of -$.19 per share. Revenue was $6.82 billion versus an estimate of $6.33 billion. The company reported an adjusted non-GAAP profit of $512M or $2.90 per share.

Tesla posted a profit of $312 million, attaining the ambitious target set by CEO Elon Musk earlier this year. The electric car maker went through great lengths to reach profitability, from a 9% layoff across the company back in June to a massive delivery blitz in the third quarter that was augmented by volunteer owners who helped deliver vehicles to reservation holders.

“With average weekly Model 3 production through the quarter (excluding planned shutdowns) of roughly 4,300 units per week, we achieved GAAP net income of $312 million. We also delivered on our internal cost efficiency targets, leading to GAAP Model 3 gross margin of more than 20%, which exceeded our guidance,” Tesla stated in the update letter.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 273 points, led by declined in Caterpillar and Apple. The S&P 500 fell 1.1 percent as the communications and tech sectors lagged. The Nasdaq Composite pulled back 1.6 percent. Overseas, the Shanghai Composite dropped fell sharply.

The short-term two-year yield hit its highest level since June 2008 before slipping. The benchmark 10-year note yield climbed to 3.205 percent.

Housing stocks fell as rates rose. The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB) dropped 0.9 percent. They also fell after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded shares of Toll Brothers and PulteGroup, along with NVR, as it reduced its forecast for housing starts.

The rise in bond yields come a day after the Federal Reserve released the minutes from its September meeting. The minutes showed the central bank is still convinced tighter monetary policy is the best course of action for the economy to remain steady.

Let me be clear. This was not a dog whistle. This was a car alarm going off at 4 a.m. underneath your bedroom window.

It’s not just that Trump is denying the legitimacy of people opposed to a decision he made. He’s also using anti-Semitic tropes to single out the group as different and as an other — not American, not committed to good, old-fashioned American values. This is the language of authoritarians, or would-be authoritarians.

The motivation is obvious. Kavanaugh’s appointment was forced through by a minority. Polls found more people opposed to Kavanaugh than in support. The 5o senators who voted to confirm his nomination represent 44 percent of the population. Trump himself is a minority president. He received less of popular vote than Hillary Clinton and found himself moving into the White House only because of the undemocratic electoral college. His signature achievement — a tax overhaul that showers goodies on the tippy-top of the 1 percent — remains widely unpopular.

So what to do? Turn to a tried-and-true dynamic, the place where gaslighting meets racism. Trump’s a champ at this game, and statements that reek of anti-Semitism are hardly the only ones he uses. While running for president, he attacked Mexican immigrants and claimed Muslims in New Jersey cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed, a claim literally no one has ever been able to corroborate. Shortly before the election, he ran a commercial featuring Soros, then-Federal Reserve Chair Janet L. Yellen and then-Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein, along with Hillary Clinton, replete with references to “global special interests” and a “global power structure.” (I doubt you need me to tell you that intimations of a global conspiracy, especially one that has much to do with banking and money, are a longtime anti-Semitic trope.)

On the campaign funding platform Crowdpac, father and activist Ady Barkan joined forces with advocacy groups Maine People's Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership to raise pledges for Collins' not-yet identified Democratic opponent if she supported President Donald Trump's high court pick. As of at 3:40pm ET Friday, it had raised $2,020,366 in pledges, an increase from the $1,804,551 it had amassed by Wednesday. A week ago, the total was $1,605,182.

While the site crashed, Barkan announced on Twitter that another portal existed to fund Collins' 2020 opponent:
