Two teenagers were shot late Saturday night outside a Maryland synagogue on their way to a party, the Washington Post reported.
The victims, 16 and 19-year-old males, told Greenbelt police they were walking along Ridge road at about 11:40 p.m. on their way to a party at the Mishkan Torah Synagogue when a fight broke out.
The synagogue had been rented out by a promoter for the private event, billed as “the biggest party in Maryland."
Gunfire erupted and several shots were fired about 500 feet from the synagogue in the Old Greenbelt area. The 19-year-old from Lanham was struck in the back, while the 16-year-old from Laurel was hit in the shoulder, police said.
The older victim ran into the synagogue for help while the younger boy called a relative, who picked him up at the scene and brought him to Laurel Regional Hospital. The 19-year-old was later brought to Prince George's Hospital Center.
The teens’ injuries are not considered life threatening.

You have to wonder about the Jews who thought that it was a good idea to rent out their synagogue to these guys:

You can rent a synagogue for a party?

It’s a kooky leftist place. I’m sure the “synagogue” board thought they were being real liberal by renting it to the OH-pressed. Or maybe it was free in lieu of reparations.

I am betting the shooters were NOT members of the Tea Party, NRA enthusiasts or Sarah Palin fans.

500 feet from the synagogue is hardly out front of it, literally speaking.

That was my first thought too. Maybe just a coincidence.
It got picked up fast by Jewish news outlets, so I’ll guess someone involved was at least half-Jewish. That place is big on interfaith couples.

There seemed to be a fight going on. At first it seemed like a drive-bye, but not so much now.
