On August 14, 1999, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Buford O. Furrow Jr., the man accused of wounding five people at the North Valley Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills, California on August 10th, had plans to attack other Los Angeles area Jewish centers. Police found a map in Furrow's "ammunition-filled van that indicated he had scouted the Museum of Tolerance, the Skirball Cultural Center and the University of Judaism." An hour after the attack, Furrow shot and killed a postal worker because he was a non-white "target of opportunity." Law enforcement officials say that Furrow attacked the Jewish center to "send a message" to America that Jews should be killed. Furrow targeted the center in Granada Hills because security there was light.
