Sincerest THANK YOU to our great Border Patrol Agent who stopped the shooter at the Synagogue in Poway, California. He may have been off duty but his talents for Law Enforcement weren’t!

Fact that wouldn’t get the attention it deserves.
Via ABC:
A woman was fatally shot and three others were injured in a shooting during a Passover celebration at a San Diego synagogue Saturday, officials said.
The shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. local time at the Chabad of Poway synagogue.
The male suspect, a white 19-year-old San Diego resident, appeared to fire more than 10 rounds before leaving the synagogue, a law enforcement source told ABC News, noting that it all happened very quickly.
“[We were] outside in front of our house and heard about six gunshots, a pause, some yelling and then another six or seven gunshots,” neighbor Chris Folts said, adding that he went inside to call 911.
During a news conference, San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said that he had an AR-style assault weapon.
The four victims were transported to Palomar Medical Center, where one of them, an older woman, died. The three others are in stable condition, Gore said.
Minoo Anvari, whose husband was inside the synagogue, said that she was with a customer when he called her.
Anvari said that he told her, “One of my friends…is down. They took her to [the] hospital. The rabbi lost two fingers. But in spite of bleeding, he was trying to finish his speech. He was telling all the people who know him, ‘Be strong. … God helps us, God helps [our] country.'”
An off-duty border patrol agent was inside the synagogue during the shooting. The agent chased the suspect outside as he attempted to flee and fired on the suspect, striking his vehicle, Gore said.
