Near the top of the world, the victims of the massacre at a Squirrel Hill synagogue were honored Sunday night.

The Empire State Building announced via Twitter on Sunday that its tower lights would go dark to honor the 11 killed and six wounded at Tree of Life Congregation in Squirrel Hill on Saturday.
