The suspect in the Monsey attack, who has been identified by police as 37-year-old Grafton E. Thomas, whom they said he targeted the home of an Orthodox rabbi who was holding a Hanukkah celebration. Five people were stabbed by the machete-wielding assailant Saturday, although there were no immediate fatalities. The rabbi lived next to his synagogue and the assailant reportedly attempted to attack Jewish congregants in the house of worship after fleeing the home.
Then on Sunday, in White Settlement, Texas, an assailant opened fire in the West Freeway Church of Christ, killing two congregants.
