The suspect involved in the attack at the synagogue in Michigan is dead, law enforcement sources tell multiple US media outlets.

Police have not yet confirmed the suspect is dead.
 
A man who rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue on Thursday is dead after he was confronted and shot at by security staff.

Multiple law enforcement sources 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.


There were no serious casualties among those at the temple, which included a pre-school and family center, according to Michael Bouchard, the Oakland county sheriff, although one security guard was injured and taken to hospital.

Investigators later found a significant amount of explosives in the suspect’s vehicle, CNN reported. The vehicle caught fire after the crash.
