The Empire State Building in New York City went dark on Sunday night to honor the 11 victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting over the weekend.

One day after the congregants were killed in an anti-Semitic hate crime, the Empire State Building went dark with an orange mast, "shining a light on gun violence awareness," the building's Twitter account posted.

The color orange is used by many gun violence prevention advocates to symbolize the issue.

The suspected shooter, Robert Bowers, opened fire at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood on Saturday morning, police said. The gunman killed at least 11 congregants and wounded four police officers, as well as two others.
