Congressman Jared Moskowitz belongs to the Temple, and reacted to the incident in a statement released on Saturday.
"What we witnessed in Parkland today, happened just one day after the 5-year anniversary of the targeted murders at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh," Moskowitz said. "We are, once again, reminded that antisemitism continues to rear its ugly head in the most violent ways."
BSO says deputies searched the area, but were unable to find the subjects.
