US Texas Governor Greg Abbott says that all people are alive and have been released after a hostage-taking situation in a Dallas-area synagogue
Dallas mayor said that as a precaution, Dallas police is deploying additional patrols to synagogues and other sites.
The Colleyville Police Department tweeted on Saturday afternoon that it was conducting SWAT operations at the address of Congregation Beth Israel, northeast of Fort Worth. The law enforcement officials said investigators have not positively identified the man and cautioned that the information was based on a preliminary investigation as the situation was still rapidly developing.
Alam said it is “unthinkable that this would happen at the synagogue of a peace-loving Rabbi who has promoted interfaith talks.”
