A rabbi recalled the moment when he came face-to-face with the 19-year-old man who authorities said walked into a San Diego synagogue and opened fire, killing one woman and wounding three others, including the rabbi, on April 27.

The suspect, identified as San Diego resident John Earnest, gave himself up to police shortly after the shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue that was filled with Sabbath worshippers at the time. Earnest is also under investigation for mosque arson.
