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.

Jewish community spends $765 million on security per year​





Security is nothing new for Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, nor for Jewish institutions across the country.

Overall, the Jewish community in North America spends about $765 million per year on security costs, according to the Jewish Federations of North America.

The Secure Community Network, or SCN, is a national organization that offers trainings and intelligence for securing Jewish institutions. Michael Masters, the national director and CEO, described the SCN as the “FBI for the Jewish community,” overseeing security from a high level and offering a curriculum for regional Jewish federations to train local institutions.
