AP: Shooting reported at San Diego County synagogue
UPDATE 4/27/2019 1:32 p.m. A hospital says it’s treating four people injured in a synagogue outside San Diego but didn’t know the extent of their injuries.
Derryl Acosta, a spokesman for Palomar Health Medical Center Hospital, says the four patients were admitted around 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said there was no known threat after a man was detained in the shooting. However, he said authorities stepped up patrol at places of worship in the area as a precaution.
The Chabad of Poway was worshipping on the last day of Passover, exactly six months since a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue killed 11 people.

Officials say deputies were called just before 11:30 a.m.
