An individual who launched an assault on a Michigan synagogue by driving a vehicle into the building has died, according to federal ATF officials.
The incident unfolded at Temple Israel, where security personnel successfully confronted the attacker after the assault began with the vehicle collision into the synagogue structure.
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard confirmed that security officers at the religious facility had “engaged the threat” following what appeared to begin as a vehicular attack on the building.
The confrontation between temple security and the assailant resulted in the attacker’s death, though additional details about the circumstances remain under investigation by federal and local authorities.
