The person was taken into custody Thursday in Riverside County.
LOS ANGELES — A person was taken into custody Thursday in connection with the shootings of two Jewish men who were leaving synagogues in Los Angeles this week that investigators believe were hate crimes, police said.
The two shootings, on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, occurred as the men left synagogues in the city’s Pico-Robertson neighborhood, according to the Anti-Defamation League’s Southern California branch. Both men were taken to hospitals with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Detectives said they were likely perpetrated by the same man, though it was not immediately clear whether the shooting suspect was the person who was taken into custody on Thursday.
“The facts of the case led to this crime being investigated as a hate crime,” Los Angeles police said. The FBI is also investigating the attacks as hate crimes, Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement.
