The suspect in an episode of gun violence on Thursday at a Detroit-area synagogue was shot dead, according to a law enforcement official, with no other casualties from the incident immediately reported. Michigan State Police reported an active shooting incident at about 12:30pm local time (1730 GMT) at Temple Israel Synagogue in the Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield.
Few official details were immediately available, but aerial news footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the roof of the building.
Large numbers of police and fire department vehicles converged on the scene.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told CNN that there were no confirmed injuries, “except potentially the shooter.”
Bouchard told reporters the suspect breached the building, driving through the doors with a vehicle, and drove down the hall before being confronted by security.
Police could not say what killed the suspect at this point, adding that security did exchange gunfire with him.
No children or staff were injured, and one lead security person was hit by the car and taken to the hospital for treatment, he said.
“That individual should be okay,” Bouchard said.
A law enforcement official familiar with the matter later told Reuters the suspect was shot dead at the scene.
