At least one dead, three wounded in California synagogue shooting that officials call a hate crime, by tamsinrm
People hug next to police tape across the street from the Chabad of Poway Synagogue after a shooting on April 27, 2019 in Poway, California.A gunman opened fire inside a Southern California synagogue Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least three others in an apparent hate crime that bears similarities to an attack on a mosque in New Zealand last month, renewing fears about the rise of white extremist terrorism.
Police said they were examining Mr. Earnest’s social media posts, as well as a lengthy online manifesto that espoused virulent anti-Semitic views and praised both the Pittsburgh synagogue and New Zealand mosque shooters. Investigators were also probing a claim contained in the manifesto that the shooter was connected to an unsolved arson fire late last month at a mosque in nearby Escondido, Calif.
The online document, which police said they had yet to authenticate, appeared to mimic a manifesto that New Zealand shooter Brenton Tarrant also posted on 8chan, including referencing PewDiePie, a popular YouTube personality, and promising to livestream the California synagogue shooting on Facebook. Facebook disabled an account referenced in the document and police did not confirm whether the attack was livestreamed online.
Poway Mayor Steve Vaus told CNN the gunman was “someone with hate in their heart” and believed the attack was a hate crime because of statements the shooter made when he entered the synagogue.
