The gun jammed, miraculously in that California synagogue shooting Saturday.
That along with the training that they had gone through allowed congregants to evacuate.
Rabbi Goldstein of Chabad spoke yesterday, a day after an attack at the Poway, CA Synagogue left one woman dead and three others injured - including the Rabbi himself.
He says the gunman fled after the weapon used in the attack jammed. A 19-year-old arrested afterward is expected to be arraigned this week on charges including murder and attempted murder.
