Developments
Suspect
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department identified John T. Earnest, a 19-year-old nursing student from the Rancho Penasquitos suburb of San Diego, California, as the suspect. In his manifesto that he posted on 8chan, the author blames Jews for the supposed "meticulously planned genocide of the European race". He praised gunman Brenton Tarrant for his role in the Christchurch mosque shootings in his manifesto and condemned Donald Trump as a Zionist.[3]

We condemn in the strongest terms the evil & cowardly shooting at Chabad of Poway today as Jewish families celebrated Passover. No one should be in fear in a house of worship. Antisemitism isn’t just wrong – it’s evil. https://t.co/hkLOCf0anp

Members of the Democratic Party Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden published statements condemning the attack.
Jill and I are devastated to hear about today’s shooting at the Chabad Poway synagogue. No one should have to worship in fear.
As a country, we must speak out against bigotry and gun violence. We’re in the battle for the soul of this nation--and it’s on all of us to act.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 28, 2019
Another horrific shooting at a place of worship, today at the Poway Synagogue in San Diego County. We must work every day to eradicate all forms of hatred and bigotry, and take serious action to protect Americans from gun violence.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 27, 2019
Yet again a place of worship is the target of senseless gun violence and hate. Anti-Semitism is real in this country and we must not be silent – enough is enough. My heart aches for the Chabad of Poway synagogue and the Jewish community.
