弗吉尼亚男子携上膛左轮手枪欲进华盛顿希伯来会堂被捕 面临三项枪支指控
华盛顿特区一名32岁的弗吉尼亚男子11月7日上午试图进入华盛顿希伯来会堂时，被安保人员在入口检查中发现携带一把上膛左轮手枪，当场被捕，警方11月9日公布了案情。
警方说，男子名叫 Tyler Finn（泰勒·芬恩），来自弗吉尼亚州 Lynchburg，事发地点在西北区 Macomb 街3935号的会堂，时间为上午10时15分左右，当时距会堂安息日上午崇拜开始约半小时。芬恩通过金属探测门时警报响起，安保人员用手持探测器复检又多次报警，芬恩随后承认腰带上别着一把枪，安保人员取下这把装满子弹的 Ruger .357 口径左轮手枪并将其扣留，随后报警。
会堂发表声明说，事件中没有发生肢体冲突，事件显示会堂的安保措施发挥了作用，目前相信对社区没有持续威胁。芬恩面临三项指控：无证携带手枪、持有未登记枪支和持有未登记弹药。
大华盛顿犹太人联合会11月9日表示，其社区安全项目已与会堂和执法部门取得联系。华盛顿希伯来会堂创建于1852年，是全美最古老的改革派犹太会堂之一，案件仍在调查中。
Virginia Man Arrested With Loaded Revolver Trying to Enter Washington Hebrew Congregation, Faces Three Firearm Charges
WASHINGTON — A 32-year-old Virginia man was arrested on November 7 after security personnel at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C., detected a fully loaded revolver during an entrance screening shortly before Shabbat morning services; police released details of the case on November 9.
Police said the man, Tyler Finn of Lynchburg, Virginia, was detained at the congregation at 3935 Macomb Street NW at about 10:15 a.m. A walk-through metal detector sounded as Finn tried to enter, a handheld detector alerted several more times, and Finn told the security employee he had a firearm clipped to his waistband. The employee secured the weapon, a fully loaded Ruger .357-caliber revolver, before police arrived.
The congregation said in a statement that there was no physical altercation, that its security measures worked as intended, and that it believes there is no ongoing threat to the community. Finn faces three charges: carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of unregistered ammunition.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington said on November 9 that its JShield community security initiative had been in contact with the congregation and law enforcement. Washington Hebrew Congregation, founded in 1852, is one of the nation's oldest Reform Jewish congregations, and the investigation remains ongoing.
