A gunman has opened fire at a synagogue in California in the US leaving one woman dead and three other people injured.

A 19‑year‑old man has been arrested after the attack at Poway, north of the city of San Diego.

The synagogue had been hosting a Passover celebration when the shooting took place.

Police have not suggested a motive but US President Donald Trump said the attack "looks like a hate crime".

The shooting comes six months after a gun attack killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the worst anti‑Semitic attack in recent US history.
