“I am disturbed by reports of a shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue and am closely monitoring the situation,” Sen. Harris said in an official statement.
The shooting at the Chabad Synagogue in Poway comes exactly six months after 11 people were killed in the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue shooting on October 27, 2018.
The reports of a mass shooting at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue is just the latest in a string of lockdowns, bomb threats, active shootings and mass shootings that have plagued the United States of America in recent year.
