A policeman removes crime scene tape from the entrance to the underground parking garage at the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Orthodox Synagogue in Los Angeles's North Hollywood, where two men arriving for morning prayers were shot and injured yesterday. The men were hospitalized and are in good condition. Police say that there is no evidence the shooting was a hate crime but that the motive is still under investigation.
