A shooting at the Chabad synagogue near San Diego on Saturday left three people injured and one woman killed. Police are holding a 19-year-old man after identifying himself as the shooter. Police say he wrote a nine-page anti-Semitic manifesto. The attack came a week after coordinated bombings killed more than 250 people in hotels and churches in Sri Lanka. In March, 50 people were killed in two shootings at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. Synagogues, churches and islamic centers have boosted security in response to these attacks. Some have even started conducting active shooter drills.
After shooting at Chabad of Poway, how are synagogues implementing new security measures?
