POWAY: A teenage gunman who wrote a hate-filled manifesto opened fire at a synagogue in California on Saturday, killing one person and injuring three others including the rabbi as worshippers marked the final day of Passover, authorities said.
He said Earnest burst into the Chabad of Poway synagogue – where there were around 100 people – shortly after 11.20am local time and opened fire with an assault weapon that appears to have malfunctioned, preventing him from inflicting more harm. “We have copies of his social media posts and his open letter and we’ll be reviewing those to determine the legitimacy of it and how it plays into the investigation,” he said.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles officials said that they were boosting patrols around synagogues and other places of worship in light of the attack. “No one should have to fear going to their place of worship, and no one should be targeted for practicing the tenets of their faith.”
