A man who rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and drove through a hallway on Thursday died during the incident, officials said.
There were no other serious casualties at the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield township, a suburb in Oakland county, and the FBI said it was treating the matter as a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community”. It was not immediately clear how the driver died, but officials said security staff engaged the suspect and at least one fired shots.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified the suspect as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, on Thursday evening. A DHS spokesperson said Ghazali was born in Lebanon, entered the US in 2011 as a spouse of a US citizen and was granted citizenship in 2016.
