A shrine of flowers on the sidewalk to honor those shot at a San Diego-area synagogue is growing, near the location where a gunman killed a congregant and injured three others.
Next door to the Chabod of Poway synagogue, Father Alexander Federoff said Sunday that he is praying for the recovery of Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the hand after Saturday’s shooting.

Federoff says his Orthodox Christian congregation was in the middle of a prayer service when the gunshots rang out and that his church welcomed Jewish congregants and tried to offer them comfort.
One worshiper, 60-year-old Lori Kaye, was killed.
Goldstein tells CNN that two other victims have been released from hospitals.
Investigators are searching the San Diego home of the 19-year-old shooter, who surrendered to police.
Poway Mayor Steve Vaus has been meeting with residents, offering hugs, and vowing solidarity.
