The FBI says the man who held hostages for hours inside a Texas synagogue was specifically focused on an issue not directly connected to the Jewish community.
Authorities said Saturday night that all four hostages held at Congregation Beth Israel are safe and unharmed. One was released during the standoff, three others were rescued when authorities entered the building. Authorities say the hostage taker is dead but are not saying how he was killed.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said there was no immediate indication that the man had connections to any broader plan but that the agency’s investigation “will have global reach.”
The NYPD is increasing its patrols around shuls and other Jewish infrastructures in Crown Heights and other areas of New York after news of the hostage situation broke. Officers were seen in notable locations across the community.
On Motzei Shabbos, police cars were seen patrolling the neighborhood, Heavy security was placed inside the 1414 Central Tomchei Temimim dormitory in Crown Heights, along with an extra security vehicle outside 770.
