Pittsburgh SWAT officers break silence in film, 7 years after Tree of Life Synagogue massacre

Seven years after the tragic attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, a new documentary titled 'Confronting Hate: Responding to the Tree of Life Attack' gives voice to the first responders who faced the shooter. The film features SWAT officer Tim Matson, who was critically wounded after being shot 12 times, sharing his story publicly for the first time. The documentary, released on the anniversary of the massacre, reveals the lasting physical and emotional trauma experienced by officers and survivors, many of whom were unable to speak about the event due to a federal gag order during the gunman's prosecution. The filmmakers emphasize not only the heroism of the responders but also the need for greater support and balanced narratives about law enforcement, highlighting the sacrifices made to save lives during the attack.
