NYPD Cops Shoot Synagogue Attacker

Police shot and killed a disturbed man inside one of Brooklyn's most prominent synagogues Tuesday morning, apparently after he burst in saying 'kill the jews' and then stabbed someone there, sources said. The bloodshed happened at the world headquarters of the Lubavitch Hasidic sect at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights shortly after 1 a.m., sources said. Calvin Peters, 50, had walked into the basement of the synagogue where people were praying, sources said. According to police sources, Peters asked for a copy of the Bible, then briefly walked out, sources said. He returned and stabbed an Israeli student in the side of the head for an unknown reason.
