President Donald Trump says he will be going to Pittsburgh in the wake of a mass shooting at a synagogue.
Speaking to reporters in southern Illinois before a rally, Trump confirmed he would go but did not offer details.
Trump said he chose to continue with a campaign rally because he did not want "evil people" to control his life. But he said he would change his tone.
The suspect, Robert Bowers, is believed to have spewed anti-Semitic slurs and rhetoric on social media shortly before barging into a baby-naming ceremony at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday and opening fire. He is in custody at a local hospital.
Eleven people were killed and six injured in one of the deadliest attacks on Jews in U.S. history.
