Family members have told of their belief that local man, Daniel Stein, 71, as being one of the dead at Pittsburgh’s synagogue shooting massacre.

The man’s death follows the devout religious man attending Sabbath prayer services on his own at the Tree of Life Synagogue.

Daniel Stein is now considered to be one of the 11 victims at the hands of right wing zealot, anti-semite, shooting suspect, Robert Bowers, 46.

Speaking to WPXI-TV, Pittsburgh area relatives said they presumed Daniel was among the deceased after not having heard him from all day and being unable to make contact with the missing man.

KDKA-TV cited relatives saying Stein was a family man who had recently become a new grandfather.

‘He was always willing to help anybody,’ said his nephew, Steven Halle via Triblive. ‘He was somebody that everybody liked, very dry sense of humor and recently had a grandson who loved him.’

TribLive reported that Daniel Stein ‘was a longtime member of New Light,’ filling in to lead services and acting as president in the past.

Of the 11 killed, six other worshippers were injured, with media reports revealing three of the victims – a 61-year-old woman, a 55-year-old man, and a 27-year-old male officer – being in stable condition.

Two others – a 70-year-old man and a 40-year-old male SWAT team officer – were in critical condition.

Another officer suffered minor injuries, was treated, and then released from the hospital.
