Gunman Killed After Crashing Car Into Michigan Synagogue, No Other Injuries Reported

A gunman was killed after crashing a car into a Michigan synagogue on Thursday and “was engaged in gunfire” with security.

Miraculously, no one else in the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield was injured in the incident.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters at the scene that security at the synagogue, which includes a school and early childhood center, shot the suspect shortly after he entered.

“At least one individual came to the temple. Security saw him, engaged him in gunfire at the scene,” Bouchard said. “We’re not getting any active stimulus at the moment. We have everything here that we need, including, you know medics and tactical gear.

He later confirmed that the suspect, who has not yet been identified, is dead.

Authorities told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that the suspect was armed with a rifle, and was burned after his vehicle caught fire.

Bouchard added all children and school staffers were moved away from the scene.

Live news footage from the scene shows smoke billowing from the building as authorities surround it. Scores of police cars have also been seen in the area.
