A shooting and hostage situation that unfolded near several synagogues and schools in heavily Jewish suburban Baltimore didn’t target Jewish people or institutions, according to Secure Community Network, the security arm of the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
“The shooting was domestic in nature,” the network said. “There are no indications that the Jewish community was the target, and there is no known active threat to the community.”
The Baltimore Police Department stated around 12:35 p.m. on Tuesday that it was on the scene of an active shooting on the 6200 block of Park Heights Avenue, where an officer was shot and sent to shock trauma and the suspect was shot.
