The 19-year-old shooter at Synagogue in San Diego County has been identified as John Earnest
Synagogue members talk to a San Diego County Sheriff's deputy outside of the Chabad of Poway Synagogue Saturday, April 27, 2019, in Poway, Calif. Several people were injured in a shooting at the synagogue.
Gore said Earnest, whose weapon apparently malfunctioned after the first several rounds he fired, had no prior criminal record. Saturday's Passover violence followed a recent spate of deadly attacks on houses of worship around the world. Speaking with reporters at the White House about Saturday's attack, US President Donald Trump said, "My deepest sympathies go to the people that were affected." He added that "it looks like a hate crime" and that authorities will "get to the bottom of it."Gore told reporters that four people were struck by gunfire and taken to Palomar Medical Center, where one of the victims, an "older woman," died.
"The officer was actually on the freeway and he clearly saw the suspect in his vehicle. The suspect pulled over and jumped out of his car with his hands up and was immediately taken into custody," Nisleit said. Authorities said about 100 people were inside the temple, where Saturday services marking the Jewish Sabbath would have been under way or have just concluded.
