2 Men Shot In Legs Outside La Synagogue

This is so common in the US now. Why would a black teen target Jewish people outside a Synagogue? Gang initiation maybe?

international QUOTE
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A gunman shot and wounded two men in the parking garage of a North Hollywood synagogue early Thursday and Jewish schools and temples alerted in case the attack wasn't isolated.

There was no immediate word on a motive, and police said the shooting may have been a random act by a lone assailant.

"We certainly recognize the location and we're sensitive to that," Deputy Police Chief Michel Moore said. "But we do not know that this was a hate crime at all."

Two men in their 40s were shot in the legs near the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Orthodox synagogue in the San Fernando Valley, Moore said. The men, both members of the synagogue, had arrived in separate cars for the morning service shortly before 6:30 a.m. When the gunman shot both several times, police said.

The men were hospitalized in good condition and were expected to fully recover, police said.

Police later detained and handcuffed a man less than a mile from the synagogue. The youth, believed to be about 17 years old, matched the "very loose" description of the attacker, who was described as a black man wearing a hoodie, Moore said.

Because of the vague description, Lt. John Romero said police were not sure yet if he was the gunman. Officers cordoned off the area and continued to search for a possible suspect, Moore said.

There were no security guards in the parking garage but investigators will look at the synagogue's security videos, he said.

The FBI also responded to the scene, and police alerted nearby Jewish schools and temples and put extra patrols in place. There are several synagogues in the area.

"We are being vigilant for any follow-ups that may occur," Moore said...
