A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into the nation’s largest Reform synagogue, in a Detroit suburb, and was fatally shot by security, The Associated Press has learned.

That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday. The vehicle caught on fire after crashing into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, the person said.

Investigators were still working to identify the man and a possible motive for the attack. The person cautioned that the investigation is still in the early stages

The person could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

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.

This crime doesn't need continuous repetitive coverage.

I'll try CNN.

JOOOoooooooooooooooooosssss!!!!!!11111

BTW, "TheProle", "Greg_In_SF", and "sarisataka" Replied as "rampartd" deserved.

Is that so? Almost any other time there's a mass shooting, Democrats demand we talk about gun violence and the need to restrict guns. What's different about this one?

It's 50-50: 50% who the would-be shooter is not; 50% who the would-be shooter is. The shooter is not the MAGA Evangelical gun nut Progs seek.

It seems all the shootings, terror attacks and the woman who was stabbed to death all happened in sanctuary states ans some are illegals. that sort of dulls the talking point of the dems

[CollectivismMustDie]

West Bloomfield, MI Beth Israel synagogue preschool terrorist has been identified as Ayman Ghazaleh (aka Ayman Ali Alghazli), who according to some reports lived in rashida tlaibs district.

Clearly a j6 insurrectionist proud boy maga supporter,

[BannedFromDU]

     The playbook is as follows:

     1. Claim the shooter is MAGA.
     2. Cling to (1) like grim death until there is absolutely no plausible way for even a moonbat to believe it was MAGA.
     3. Surmise that such acts are the natural and inevitable consequence of Gaza and Iran.
     4. Gradually shift from rationalizing to justifying such attacks.
     5. Continue to scoff about the presence of sleeper cells or individuals in the US.
     6. Continue to bleat in other threads about "false flag" attacks.


     Or, more succinctly:

     A. Be a stupid cowardly craven partisan piece of liberal dog shit.

And in every case, they will talk about the need to disarm society. And yes, there's always a fallback position (or many) with the left.
