Californian Jews are on heightened alert after a man who had spoken of his plans to murder Jews was released on bail just days after his arrest earlier this month.
Ross Farca, of Concord, California, boasted on a gamer website that he wanted to kill dozens of Jews and livestream the attack as he did so, mimicking the actions of the far-right terrorist who killed more than 50 people in attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.
But despite being arrested in early June, Mr Farca, 23, was released on bail just days later, and is now contesting an order which prevents him from having access to firearms.
According to the Jewish Telegraph Agency, the Jewish Vocational Service in San Francisco has circulated a mugshot of Farca, warning people to contact the police if they spotted him. Other congregations have boosted their security.
