- Stephen Spencer Pittman set fire to Beth Israel Congregation early Saturday, using gasoline as an accelerant.
- He confessed to targeting the synagogue due to its Jewish association, calling it the ‘synagogue of Satan.’
- The blaze caused significant damage to the library and sanctuary, making the building unusable for an extended period.
- Federal and local authorities continue their investigation amid strong community support and condemnation of the attack.
