Cops Investigate Reform Synagogue Vandalism as Possible Hate Crime

Sacramento, CA ​- Detectives from four agencies are investigating whether vandalism reported at a Carmichael synagogue was a hate crime, according to authorities.

Officials at Congregation Beth Shalom on El Camino Ave.contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department to report that a swastika had been spray painted on the sanctuary's glass windows, said sheriff's Sgt. Tim Curran.

The letters "SS" had been spray painted on another part of the building, and some bushes next to the sanctuary had been burned, Curran said.

The incident is being investigated by the Sheriff's Department as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District's arson team and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Curran said. Detectives will determine whether the act was a hate crime, and which agency will take the lead in the investigation, Curran said.
No suspects have been identified, and no witnesses have been found, Curran said.

Congregation Beth Shalom was one of three Sacramento-area synagogues targeted by two arsonists in 1999. Benjamin Matthew Williams, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, and his brother, James Tyler Williams, pleaded guilty in September 2001 to setting the fires, which caused almost $3 million in damages. They were sentenced to 30 years and 21 years and three months, respectively, in federal prison for the crimes.

Benjamin Williams committed suicide in his jail cell in 2002 as he and his brother awaited trial in connection with another case two weeks after the synagogue fires.
