As investigators search for answers in the deadly shooting at a California synagogue, police are looking into the suspect's possible link to a fire at a nearby mosque and taking extra steps to keep places of worship safe.

One person was killed and at least three others wounded in a shooting on Saturday at Congregation Chabad in Poway, about 22 miles north of San Diego, authorities said.

The San Diego Sheriff's Department said it assigned deputies to religious centers throughout the weekend. While security has been heightened, authorities said it is not indicative of a greater threat.

"We encourage our communities to continue with scheduled events and other activities as normal," the department said in a statement. "The suspect in the Poway incident today has been captured and we believe he acted alone."

The suspect in custody has been identified as John Earnest, a 19-year-old student at California State University San Marcos.
