Suspect in deadly San Diego synagogue shooting linked to a nearby mosque arson fire, according to a law enforcement source.
The suspected gunman who allegedly opened fire with an assault rifle on members of a Southern California synagogue during a Passover service -- killing one person and wounding three others, including the rabbi and a child -- has been linked to a recent arson blaze at a nearby mosque, according to a law enforcement source.
In the Chabad of Poway synagogue attack, Earnest allegedly wore a helmet camera and was attempting to live stream the shooting, but his video equipment apparently failed to function, the source told ABC News. A U.S. Border Patrol agent, whose name has not been released, was working security at the synagogue when the gunfire erupted. He confronted the gunman and is being hailed as a hero for stopping the attack.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein was in in the middle of his sermon on the last day of the Jewish observance of Passover when gunfire broke out, witnesses said. "The rabbi lost two fingers. But in spite of bleeding, he was trying to finish his speech," Anvari said her husband told her."He was telling all the people who know him, 'Be strong. ... God helps us, God helps [our] country.'""Sincerest THANK YOU to our great Border Patrol Agent who stopped the shooter at the Synagogue in Poway, California. He may have been off duty but his talents for Law Enforcement weren’t!" President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday.
In the letter he allegedly wrote, Earnest made a point of saying he is not a supporter of the president.
