A man rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and drove through a hallway on Thursday before he was shot dead by security staff, officials said.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the incident at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield township, a prosperous suburb in Oakland county about 25 miles north-west of downtown Detroit.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community”, Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge of the Detroit office, said in an evening press conference. But she said it was too soon to identify the suspect or specify a motive for the attack and said the temple remained an active crime scene.

Washington: A man is dead after ramming his truck into a synagogue in Michigan, and a fatal university shooting in Virginia is being treated as an act of terrorism, amid heightened fears and a string of attacks globally during the US and Israel’s war with Iran.
Children were at preschool inside the Temple Israel Synagogue in a Detroit suburb when the man crashed his vehicle through the doors and into the hallway. He was killed in a confrontation with security personnel.
One of the security agents was hit by the vehicle and hospitalised. No other people inside synagogue were hurt, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said, but as many as 30 first responders were also taken to hospital due to smoke inhalation.
