The White House invited Pittsburgh police Officer Timothy Matson to Tuesday's State of the Union speech. Matson, 41, was part of a SWAT team that exchanged fire with a gunman on the third floor of the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27.
One of five officers wounded or injured at Tree of Life, Matson was shot more than six times inside the synagogue during the attack, which left 11 people dead and seven wounded. He remained in critical condition for days after the shooting.
