UPDATE: Off-Duty Border Patrol Agent Chased Shooter Out of San Diego Synagogue
A Border Patrol agent helped contain the violence in San Diego.
Saturday afternoon, a 19-year-old man opened fire inside a synagogue in San Diego, only to be chased out by an armed, off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent.
“An off-duty border patrol agent was inside the synagogue during the shooting,” according to ABC. “The agent chased the suspect outside as he attempted to flee and fired on the suspect, striking his vehicle.”
Three people were injured, and one killed when a suspect who has not officially been named opened fire inside the place of worship. The alert CBP agent – a good guy with a gun – likely prevented more damage. A manifesto attributed to a man named John Earnest is circulating online.
