LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department will provide increased security around Jewish institutions across the city after the shootings of two men outside synagogues in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood over two days, community leaders say.
"These attacks against members of our Jewish community are unacceptable," Mayor Karen Bass said in a tweet.
Jeffrey I. Abrams, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League Los Angeles, said both victims were assaulted with deadly weapons while leaving houses of worship.
