A Jewish man was shot in Los Angeles on Thursday morning, just 24 hours after another Jewish victim was shot.
Los Angeles Scoop is reporting that the victim was shot while leaving a Shul in the area of S. Bedford and Pico Boulevard. Los Angeles Hatzalah was on the scene along with EMS and LAPD. Thursday’s shooting happened exactly 24 hours after another Jewish man was shot.
The victim was reportedly shot in the arm, and is in stable condition.
On Wednesday YWN reported that a Jewish man was shot while leaving a Shul at around 9:56 am PT near Cashio and Shenandoah in Pico-Robertson, an area of Los Angeles densely populated with Orthodox Jews. That victim was also shot in the arm and is stable condition.
Agudath Israel of America sent the following statement to YWN:
Agudath Israel is greatly concerned over two shootings on consecutive days victimizing Orthodox Jews leaving their synagogues following morning prayers.
Our California office has been in touch with the Los Angeles Police Department, as well as Los Angeles Councilwoman Katy Young Yaroslovsky’s office, who are taking this situation very seriously. While we do not yet know who the shooter(s) are, if the cases are related, or what the motivations may have been, Agudath Israel feels that these incidents should be investigated as hate crimes until we know otherwise. In the meantime we ask all Los Angeles institutions to be especially vigilant in the days ahead.
We pray for the complete recovery of the victims of these shootings.

“Karen Bass officially assumed office on December 12. Bass is the first woman and the second Black person, after Tom Bradley, to serve as mayor of Los Angeles. Fulfilling a campaign promise, Bass declared a city state of emergency on homelessness as her first act as mayor.”
I’m sure Ms. Bass will get to the bottom of this.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET OUT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
Biden , is the worse of all evils……even China has a problem matching this form of delinquency…..thank G-d I am not an American….
They should move to Israel, because in Israel the Great IDF insures there’s never any violence against Jews.
@NAFTALICOLEMAN get out from where? Golus?
To Not Getting involved: Please stop getting involved.
To Sara Rifka: On behalf of America, I also thank G-d you are not an American.
To the best of my knowledge, there are no shatnez issues with body armor. Time for LA Jews to suit up. It’s even permissible to wear it on Shabbos where there’s no eruv, like LA.
Every time there is any anti-Jewish incident these Aliyah people jump out of the woodwork with their hysterics “Get out before it’s too late”. Am I mistaken in the belief that the seven Jews were just murdered were in the State of Israel? Which “country” has more Jews killed in it than any other country because the government refuses to expel people who endorse terrorism? Golus is not a geographic location. It is the absence of Geluah. Go to Israel because you will be safer in Neve Yakov and free of ramming attacks. Stop the lies!
huju as usual sharing his/her/their/prosecute/fauci IQ with the world.
THERE IS an Eruv in Los Angeles.
