Carol Black, a worshipper at the synagogue, described how she and others heard gunfire and hid in a storage room, where she saw congregant Mel Wax drop dead after the gunman shot him. Black's brother was among the 11 people killed in the attack. Bowers, who faces 63 counts, including hate crimes, could face the death penalty if convicted.
