At least two killed near German synagogue on Yom Kippur, holiest Jewish holiday

Salon  

At least two people were fatally shot on Wednesday near a synagogue in Halle, Germany, during prayer services for Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Police later said they arrested one person, though an earlier tweet suggested there may have been multiple “perpetrators” who fired “several shots.” Police warned people to stay in their homes while they searched for other potential suspects in Halle, a city in eastern central Germany with a population of about 240,000. Max Privorotzki, a local Jewish leader, told the German news outlet Der Spiegel that the gunman or gunmen appeared to try to enter the synagogue but were repelled by police officers posted outside. "Together with you, I would like to express my sympathies to the German police forces, the German people and the German Jewish community," European Parliament President David Sassoli told lawmakers in Brussels Wednesday.
