Two people shot at Los Angeles synagogue

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Two men were shot by a gunman Thursday at a Los Angeles synagogue in what police sources say could be a hate crime.

An unidentified police representative told The Los Angeles Times the shooting victims, both men around 30 years old, were in stable condition with gunshot wounds to the torso.

Anonymous police sources said the unidentified gunman shot the men, described as Jewish by police, as they were entering the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic synagogue Thursday morning.

The sources said robbery is not a suspected motive in the shooting, leading detectives to treat the incident as a possible hate crime.

An unidentified man was arrested in the area following the shooting, but the sources were doubtful the individual was responsible for the shooting.

The Times said police informed other Los Angeles synagogues about the morning incident as a precaution. Police patrols of Jewish religious facilities in the city were increased.
