"Sadly we’re seeing this happen all throughout this country and it's tragic especially when it happens here in our own backyard.” John Earnest, who was taken into custody after the assault, is also suspected of  setting fire to a mosque in March in nearby Escondido and making references to the New Zealand mosque terror attacks, which killed 50 people, Gore said at a news conference. Earnest was armed with an "AR-type assault weapon" when he opened fire at Chabad of Poway shortly b
