US Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, visited Chabad of Poway near San Diego on Friday. In April, the Chabad synagogue was the scene of an anti-Semitic shooting that left worshipper Lori Kaye, 60, dead and three others wounded, including the community rabbi.
Pence tweeted that "no one should fear in a house of worship. We will always condemn evil acts of anti-Semitism. We are with you!"

Pence also tweeted that he and Karen were "honored" to visit Chabad of Poway and said that Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was also wounded in the April shooting, was an "inspiration to the nation."
After the shooting, Goldstein said, "Right here it turned dark for a long moment and then the miraculous bright light came on."
In May, shooter John Earnest was indicted on 113 federal counts after pleading not guilty to hate crimes.
