An unidentified attacker was killed Thursday after ramming a pickup truck into a synagogue outside Detroit, sparking a fire and prompting a large police response, authorities said.
WDIV-TV reports that a truck crashed into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township.
FBI Director Kash Patel said agents are on the scene of an "apparent vehicle ramming and active shooter situation” at the synagogue.
The Jewish Federation of Detroit advised all Jewish organizations in the area "to go into lockout protocol - nobody in or out of your building.”
Security guards opened fire on the attacker after he smashed through the doors of the synagogue in West Bloomfield, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters.
