BOSTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the shooting that killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue an "attack on all people of faith" Monday, saying targeting people because of their religion will not be tolerated. Sessions' remarks came during a discussion in Boston on the importance of protecting religious freedom, which the Methodist and former Republican senator from Alabama has made a key part of his Justice Department's agenda. "This was not just an attack on the Jewish faith. It was an attack on all people of faith. It was an attack on America's values of protecting those of faith," Sessions said at the event hosted by the Boston chapter of the Federalist Society at the Omni Parker House.
