(14 Apr 2014) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus008764 President Barack Obama on Monday honored those killed in a weekend attack at two Jewish facilities in Kansas, saying no one should have to worry about their security while gathering with their fellow believers. Obama noted that synagogues and temples across the country are taking extra security precautions following the shooting, adding: "No one should ever have to fear for their safety when they go to pray." The president spoke during an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House and vowed that the government would provide whatever is needed to support the investigation. He urged Americans to stand united against "religious-based" violence. "That this occurred now as Jews were preparing to celebrate Passover, as Christians were observing Palm Sunday makes this tragedy all the more painful." Three people were killed Sunday when a gunman opened fire on a Jewish community center and Jewish retirement complex near Kansas City. The man accused in the shooting is a well-known white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader who was once the subject of a nationwide manhunt. Officials were investigating the attack as a hate crime, although two of the victims, a man and his grandson, were not Jewish and were at the community center for a singing competition, relatives said. The breakfast was attended by faith leaders including Al Sharpton, African Methodist Episcopal Church Bishop Vashti Murphy Mckenzie and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. The annual breakfast continued a tradition that Obama started in 2010.
