USA – 2 wounded in legs as gunman attacks Los Angeles synagogue

Los Angeles police have detained a man near the North Hollywood synagogue where two people were shot in the legs.

Officer Rosario Herrera says she’s not sure if the arrest is connected to the shooting Thursday at the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic synagogue.

Herrera says the victims were taken to a hospital and are stable.

Police say a man with a handgun entered the building at about 6:20 a.m. (1320 GMT) and shot two people. Police are investigating the shooting as a hate crime.

It was not clear how many people were in the building at the time of the shooting.

The attack occurred 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a 1999 shooting at a Jewish community center.
