MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Police say racism was the apparent motive in yesterday's shooting spree which left five people dead and one injured outside Pittsburgh. CNN's Jeff Flock reports on this latest mass shooting.</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The suspect is 35- year-old Richard Baumhamers, described by authorities as a lawyer who "hasn't worked in a while." Authorities say it all began here, not far from Baumhamers' house outside Pittsburgh where firefighters responding to an alarm found a 63-year-old woman shot dead. Minutes away in Scott Township at an Indian grocery store, two more shot, one dead, one critically injured. (on camera): Next stop, here in Robinson Township, Pennsylvania, where two people were shot to death at the Chinese restaurant behind me. Witnesses on the scene say that the gunman asked for the victims by name but authorities were not able to confirm that, saying that they're not sure if he knew any of his victims. (voice-over): Next, at a Korean-owned karate school, another shooting, another dead. Also attacked, two Jewish synagogues. Both had their windows shot out and at Beth El Synagogue, swastikas were also painted in red spray paint and so was the word "Jew." Authorities say it all started at 1:00 p.m. local time and ended at 3:20 with the arrest of Baumhamers, a man reported to be from a stable family. At this point, no good clues why all this happened. (on camera): Reporting live from now outside the Beth El Congregation of the South Hills. Perhaps behind me you can see the boarded up windows and doors shot out yesterday, presumably by Mr. Baumhamers. According to the rabbi here, they will go forward with the religious observances planned this morning. They say that their response to hate crimes is simply to go forward. I'm Jeff Flock, CNN, reporting live from Scott Township, Pennsylvania.
