In 2015, the northern San Diego County suburb of Poway was recognized as one of the safest cities in California. The deadly shooting at a synagogue there has left the city reeling.

“This is not Poway,” Mayor Steve Vaus said at a news conference. “We always walk with our arms around each other, and we will walk through this tragedy with our arms around each other.”The mayor expressed appreciation for the quick law enforcement response and for those who showed courage during the violence.

Poway, a city of about 50,000 people north of San Diego known for its rural charms, describes itself as “the City in the Country.”One person was killed and three others injured Saturday when a 19-year-old man armed with a rifle opened fire during Passover services at Chabad of Poway.Earnest appears to have written a letter posted on the internet filled with anti-Semitic screeds. In the letter, he also talked about planning the attack.

Cantor Caitlin Bromberg of the Ner Tamid synagogue in Poway said: “We’re feeling fear. It could have just as easily been our service. It hits close to home.”The shooting came on the last day of Passover, one of the most sacred holidays in the Jewish faith.

“Targeting them seems pretty intentional to me,” Bromberg said. “I don’t know what we’re going to learn about the shooter, but it seems [he] knew something about Judaism.” Poway High School has been set up as a family assistance center for anyone seeking information about loved ones. Trauma counselors were being sent to the synagogue, where about 100 people were awaiting interviews with homicide detectives.“We will get through this,” he told reporters. “Poway will stay strong. We will always be a community that cares for each other.”

San Diego is beefing up security at places of worshipSan 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 Chicago murder rates are much higher and cnn's typical selective journalism for this, because why? because they associate it with Trump. Isn't that the definition of fake news by pushing an agenda? Yet people blame NRA. This happened in a gun control area okay. We cant confiscate guns from law abiding citizens when countries like China fuel our black market. Other countries would have to end production for gun control to work here. That's flat out a fact.
