Suspect in Michigan synagogue attack is dead, AP source says

"The suspect in an attack on a synagogue in Michigan is dead, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press, after a sheriff said security at the largest Reform Synagogue in the U.S. had engaged in gunfire. The person confirmed the death at the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, but did not provide additional details."

"FBI Director Kash Patel said agents were on scene of an 'apparent vehicle ramming and active shooter situation' at the synagogue. Oakland County Sheriff Sheriff Mike Bouchard confirmed during an earlier news conference that security at the synagogue had engaged in gunfire with at least one person, and that no one was in custody."

About a dozen parents sprinted to get their children from an early childhood learning center inside the building after getting approval from police."
