Police in San Francisco said they’re prioritizing calls to places of worship Friday as they continue hunting for a man who fired suspected blank rounds inside a Richmond District synagogue earlier in the week.
The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Schneerson Center at Balboa Street and 26th Avenue.
"Right now there is absolutely no motive that we can speculate on," said Officer Robert Rueca, a SFPD spokesman. "The police department is prioritizing calls for service to all places of worship. We are working with the community in addressing any safety concerns." A senior Rabbi at the Schneerson told KTVU he got a call Friday from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who offered her condolences and support."Houses of worship have to be truly sanctuaries," said Rabbi Jonathan Singer, with the nearby Congregation Emanu-El.
