It looks the shooter killed two random people when he couldn’t get inside the synagogue.

My mistake, seems that he shot a woman outside the synagogue and another innocent bystander in a kabob shop. Wanton killing when he couldn’t get in.

A prevented tragedy leading to another tragedy. Heartbreaking and soul crushing either way. Praying for a better world.

The synagogue that I have attended for 30 years now has a lock code on the doors which used to be open to everyone.
