LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police say they have stepped patrols around the city’s synagogues following Saturday’s shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
LAPD officials say the move was made out of “an abundance of caution.”
Officer Greg Kraft tells City News Service the LAPD is also monitoring the situation in Pittsburgh.
The LAPD says that so far there appears to be no connection between the Pittsburgh shootings and Los Angeles.
But authorities urged people in LA to report any suspicious activity at a synagogue.
Pittsburgh police say a suspect was taken into custody following the shooting at Tree of Life Congregation that caused what they described as “multiple casualties.”
