#1 Who wrote this headline? It's the same all over the internet. "Two men shot at LA synagogue" is more accurate & less misleading.

#2 AP update:

Two men in their 40s were shot in the legs near the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Orthodox synagogue in the San Fernando Valley, Deputy Police Chief Michel Moore said. The men, both members of the synagogue, had arrived in separate cars for the morning service shortly before 6:30 a.m. when the gunman approached one and, without speaking, shot him and the other man, Moore said. The men were hospitalized in good condition.

Police say the men were shot in the parking garage of the North Hollywood temple. The gunman said nothing before firing and fleeing. Police Deputy Chief Michael Moore told reporters that it appears to be the work of a lone gunman.

Police later detained and handcuffed a man less than a mile from the synagogue. The youth, believed to be about 17 years old, matched the "very loose" description of the attacker, who was described as a black man wearing a hoodie, Moore said.

Because of the vague description, Lt. John Romero said police were not sure yet if he was the gunman. Officers cordoned off the area and continued to search for a possible suspect, Moore said.

There were no security guards in the parking garage but investigators will look at the synagogue's security videos, he said.

#3 description of the attacker, who was described as a black man wearing a hoodie, Moore said

What, no Joooos blamed here? Sounds like racial profiling. Let the kid go and charge the bullet catchers with the "hate crime."

#5 Los Angeles police say a 17-year-old high school student is no longer a suspect in the wounding of two men who were shot in the legs as they arrived at a North Hollywood synagogue.

Police had detained the teenager near the temple on Thursday morning because he matched a loose description of the attacker, who was described as a black man wearing a hoodie.

Police Detective Steve Castro says the student has no connection to the shooting that took place Thursday in the parking garage near the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Orthodox synagogue.
