San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said police would be providing extra patrols at places of worship through the weekend and encouraged people to report any suspicious activity
As the suspect was fleeing the synagogue, an off-duty Border Patrol agent opened fire on him, San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said at a press conference. The agent ultimately did not hit the suspect, instead striking some of the cars nearby.
“While we continue to learn more about what transpired, we can’t ignore the circumstances around this horrific incident. 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.”"Charleston, Pittsburgh, Quebec, New Zealand — now our own Poway, California.Hate continues to fuel horrific and cowardly acts of violence across our state, country, and world. It must be called out. CA stands with Poway," he wrote.
This shooting is a reminder of the enduring virulence of anti-Semitism. It must serve as a call to action for us as a society to deal once and for all with this hate. People of all faiths should not have to live in fear of going to their house of worship. From Charleston to Pittsburgh to Oak Creek and from Christchurch to Sri Lanka, and now Poway, we need to say “enough is enough.” Our leaders need to stand united against hate and address it both on social media and in our communities.
“We strongly condemn this heinous attack and extend our deepest sympathies to the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community. We pray for the swift recovery of the injured and trust that justice will be served against the perpetrator of this attack. There is no room for such hate-filled violence in our society. People of all faiths must stand together and declare that we will never tolerate such hatred,” Lauder said.The timing of the shooting at Congregation Chabad is significant.
The Museum expressed shock and alarm over the"second armed attack" on a synagogue in six months, a reference to the attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh where 11 people were killed.
