LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles synagogue security guard has been arrested for allegedly shooting and wounding a person who was recording video of the building for more than 40 minutes.

Police say 44-year-old Edduin Zelayagrunfeld was arrested Thursday after the shooting outside the Etz Jacob Congregation/Ohel Chana High School.

The victim was treated and returned to the scene, describing the wound as a deep graze to one leg.

The Los Angeles Times reports she is Zhoie Perez, a self-described First Amendment "auditor" who pushes the bounds of her rights in public spaces and posts videos to YouTube channels. She said she was filming architecture.

2. Jeezle peezle, the video shows this guy is not quite right. The filmer was trollish ...

but didn't do anything deserving of being shot. I certainly understand the congregation having an armed guard in light the increased and increasingly violent antisemitism, but surely they could have found a better candidate.
