On October 8, 1977, guests who attended a
bar mitzvah were leaving Brith Sholom Kneseth Israel synagogue when white supremacist
Joseph Paul Franklin began shooting at them, killing Gerald Gordon, and wounding Steven Goldman and William Ash. In 1997, Franklin, who was now serving multiple life sentences for other crimes, was found guilty of capital murder for killing Goldman and sentenced to death. He was executed on November 20, 2013. == References ==
