Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says.
WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — An attacker armed with a rifle rammed his vehicle into one of the nation’s largest reform synagogues Thursday, driving through a hallway as security opened fire, fatally shooting him, The Associated Press has learned.
The vehicle caught fire after crashing into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, just outside Detroit, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to the AP.
None of the synagogue’s staff or the children at its early childhood center were injured, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said.
The attacker drove through a set of doors and into the hallway where something in the vehicle ignited, Bouchard said.
“He was traveling with purpose down the hall, from my look at the video,” Bouchard said.
Investigators were still working to identify the man and a possible motive, said the person who could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The person cautioned that the investigation was still in the early stages.
In the minutes after the attack, smoke billowed from the synagogue.
“No kids or no staff were injured whatsoever,” Bouchard said. He said one security officer was hit by the vehicle and knocked unconscious but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
The synagogue has multiple security officers, he said, and at least one fired at the suspect, who was found dead inside his vehicle.
“We can’t say what killed him at this point but security did engage the suspect with gunfire,” the sheriff said, adding that it was possible the attacker killed himself or died some other way.
Synagogues around the world have been on edge and have been ramping up security since the U.S. and Israel launched a war with Iran with missile strikes on Feb. 28.

Seems two wind-up toys aka crazies got themselves neutralized.
ReplyDeleteNot as I understand terrorism the work of professional terrorist bands aka "sleeper cells". Those folks strike, escape and continue striking much larger more important targets. Like multi-gunman mall attacks and power grid attacks.
Hopefully true "sleeper cells" we've been "warned about" since the 1980's are mostly boogeymen as America is a very soft target for a year of Rage.

Well this guy wasn't part of any 'sleeper cell', he was just one of our home-grown liberal anti-semitic hate-filled tards.
DeleteThe other bastard had a ISIS inspired history and spent time in prison for his activities.
Agree. Still praying we don't see a real sleeper cell professional terror team.
DeleteNot the best time to fire our Iran experts at the FBI.
DeleteMichael ... me and you both. But I'm afraid it's coming.
DeleteLike I said in an earlier comment, the wind-up toys are fully deployed! I am sure there are sleeper cells waiting for a go signal...
ReplyDeleteI have been dreading the start of this since Epic Fury started. They let so many of these barbarians in the country, we're bound to have some strikes from here on out. I just hope that most Americans will see it coming and be able to counteract.
DeleteBollards to prevent vehicles from driving through doorways need to become standard architectural planning.
ReplyDeleteYes sir. They had bollards but they were too far away from the door.
