(JNS) Jews are vocalizing their disappointment with the El Cajon Police Department’s statement that it is investigating the “exact motive” behind a shooting that killed a Jewish dentist and wounded two others, and that the killer appeared to be “a disgruntled former customer,” Bill Wells, the mayor of the San Diego city, told JNS.
“A lot of people in the Jewish community felt very slighted,” Wells said. “I don’t think that’s the case. I think they are trying to calm everybody down. It doesn’t appear to be an organized jihadist attack.”
Police arrested Mohammed Abdulkareem, 29, on Feb. 29 after he allegedly killed Dr. Benjamin Harouni. He has been booked in San Diego County Central Jail and faces several felony charges, including a count of murder and two of attempted murder.
