According to reports, Earnest planned to lifestream the synagogue shooting on Facebook.
The 19-year-old man suspected of entering Chabad of Poway synagogue north of San Diego and opening fire Saturday has been identified as John T. Earnest, according to NBC 7 in San Diego.
In the reported manifesto, Earnest said the shooting suspects for the Pittsburgh mosque, which was six months ago to the day, and last month's shooting at a Christchurch, New Zealand mosque inspired him to carry out the shooting in Poway, which is a San Diego suburb. "I also understand from folks on the scene that this shooter was engaged by people in the congregation and those brave people certainly prevented this from being a much worse tragedy," Vaus said.
