'Strong leads' in synagogue shooting

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (UPI) -- High-tech gear used by federal authorities to enhance video footage of the shooting of two men at a Los Angeles temple has yielded "strong leads," police say.

The equipment is being used to clarify grainy video obtained from Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Congregation synagogue where the two men were shot Thursday before morning prayers, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

The video shows the gunmen who shot Maor Ben-Nissan and Allen Lasry, authorities allege.

Police have ruled out the shootings as either hate crime or terrorism, and are now looking at other motives Detective Rich Wheeler of the Los Angeles Police Department said. "We are working on some information but I am not prepared at this stage to share that," Wheeler said.

Police have questioned and released one man in connection with the shooting, an LAPD spokesman said.

Both victims were in good condition at local hospitals, the Times reported.

No matter the motivation, the two Jewish men are alive, thank the Lord, and I am so glad for it. About the gunmen, I pity them, maybe they never read Zechariah 2:8.
