A California man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for shooting and wounding two Jewish men as they left synagogues in Los Angeles last year. The 30-year-old man pleaded guilty to two counts of hate crimes with intent to kill and two counts of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
The shootings, which occurred in February 2023, targeted the victims because of their faith, as they were wearing clothing that identified them as Jewish, including black coats and head coverings. Fortunately, both men survived the attacks.
