Detroit Rabbi Wounded as Congregation Watches Shooting
About 600 worshippers at Shaarey Zedek in Detroit watched as Rabbi Morris Adler was shot and wounded during an ecumenical service. The assailant, Richard Wishnetsky, 24, shot Adler, then killed himself. Adler’s wife Goldie and witnesses described the moment, with observers from Christian churches present. The rabbi underwent emergency surgery and was conscious on admission at Sinai Hospital. Wishnetsky’s sister prayed during the incident.
