A man is in custody following a shooting at a Synagogue in Albany, New York. It occurred just hours before the start of the first night of Hanukah.
The shooting took place on Thursday, just before 2:00 p.m. According to responding officers, the suspect is a 28-year-old who was yelling “free Palestine” and fired two shots outside of Temple Israel.
No one was injured in the shooting. According to an employee who worked at the temple, the staff member noticed an armed man outside of the building. The facility was immediately placed on lockdown. At the time of the shooting, many people were inside the building including an early childhood center filled with children.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.), who has visited Temple Israel many times, condemned the crime on X, the platform formally known as Twitter.
The FBI and City police are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime.

This incident comes as a shocking reminder of the rise in anti-Semitic incidents in recent years. It is particularly disturbing that it happened on the eve of Hanukkah, a celebration of light and hope.
The fact that the suspect was yelling “free Palestine” raises concerns about the motives behind the shooting. While it is important to support the rights and aspirations of all people, it is crucial to condemn violence and promote peaceful dialogue.
The swift response of the temple staff and the authorities prevented any casualties and ensured the safety of those present at the time. It is a testimony to the importance of preparedness and vigilance in these challenging times.
Governor Kathy Hochul’s condemnation of the crime is an essential message of support and solidarity with the Jewish community. It is crucial for leaders to stand against hate and promote unity and understanding.
The investigation into this incident must be thorough and impartial. The FBI and local law enforcement should leave no stone unturned in determining the motives behind the shooting and bringing the perpetrator to justice.
In times like these, it is essential for society to come together and reject all forms of hate and prejudice. We must foster an environment of tolerance, respect, and empathy for all individuals, regardless of their religious or ethnic background.
The Jewish community should not be subjected to fear and violence. As a society, we must work towards creating an inclusive and safe environment where everyone can practice their faith without threat or intimidation.
We must remember that incidents like these do not define us as a society. It is through our collective response and commitment to peace and understanding that we can overcome these challenges and build a better future for all.
Let us stand together against hate and ensure that incidents like this never happen again.
Stay informed and stay vigilant. Together, we can make a difference.
