The criminal who took the hostages in the Texas synagogue was destroyed during the assault. It is reported by CNN.
The police of the American city of Colleyville confirmed the death of the perpetrator. The hostages were not hurt.
The hostage rescue team stormed the synagogue about 12 hours after the first report of the incident. During the special operation, a loud explosion and several automatic bursts were heard, after which the security forces took three people out of the building.
The FBI was investigating the crime. The identity of the perpetrator is established, but is not disclosed in the interests of the investigation.
Before that, it was reported that as a result of negotiations with law enforcement officers, the offender released one person.
A man with a gun broke into a synagogue and took four hostages, including a rabbi, on January 15. Later it became known that the attacker demanded the release of his terrorist sister, who was sentenced to 86 years in prison for the attempted murder of a US soldier in 2010. US President Joe Biden briefed on the hostage situation.
