PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers held a moment of silence inside Heinz Field before Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns to honor the victims of the mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue on Saturday.
The respectful moment captured a somber weekend, with dozens of Steelers players posting supportive tweets Saturday afternoon. The attack happened in the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, which is a few miles from the Steelers' practice facility.
"On behalf of the entire Steelers organization, we offer our support and condolences to the families of the attack of peaceful citizens worshipping at the Tree of Life Synagogue," team president Art Rooney II said in a statement issued Sunday morning.
