A gunman opened fire at a Jewish synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh on Saturday, killing at least eight persons and injuring several others including three policemen, local media reports said.
Robert Bowers, 46, surrendered after he was injured during an exchange of fire with the police, according to local media reports.
He is being described as a white male, heavy set, with a beard.
He is being questioned and treated at hospital.
The FBI is investigating this as a "hate crime". Before opening fire, the alleged perpetrator reportedly yelled, "All Jews must die!"
