The suspect involved in the Chabad of Poway synagogue shooting last month in San Diego was charged with 109 hate crime violations, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
John Earnest, 19, allegedly went to the synagogue on the last day of Passover on April 27 and opened fire with an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle, killing one person and injuring three others. He was later apprehended after he was chased from the synagogue by several members of the congregation and an off-duty Border Patrol agent.
