On his way to Wisconsin for a White House Correspondents’ dinner “counter-rally,” President Trump commented on the shooting, stating “People that were effected, the families, their loved ones, [it] obviously looks right now based on my last conversations – looks like a hate crime”  he went on to say that “with respect to the synagogue in California near San Diego, we’re doing some very heavy research, we will see what happens”

The San Diego Sheriff has announced that there will be extra patrols at places of worship over the weekend.

Sheriff Bill Gore has confirmed the name of the shooting suspect, as well as his age, they are now looking through any digital evidence and checking the authenticity of an online manifesto found on sites like 4chan following the shooting.
