In the US, a car crashed into a synagogue with a school: police are searching for the shooter
This was reported by CNN.
In the United States, there was an attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
According to preliminary data, a car crashed into the synagogue building, after which shots were fired at the scene.
The Temple Israel complex also houses a children's educational centre, so after the alarm was raised, parents picked up their children in coordination with the police.
Law enforcement officials reported an active shooter situation and began clearing the building.
According to the AP, synagogue security exchanged fire with at least one attacker.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said the building had been evacuated, but at the time of the latest reports, the suspect had not yet been apprehended.
The FBI also confirmed that it was responding to the incident, which is preliminarily described as a car ramming and shooting attack.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer confirmed the incident and said she was in constant contact with law enforcement.
She emphasised that Michigan's Jewish community has the right to freely and peacefully practise their religion, and that anti-Semitism and violence have no place in the state.
After the incident, the Jewish Federation of Detroit called on all local Jewish organisations to go into lockdown mode, meaning not to let people in or out of buildings until further notice.
Due to the incident, the local school district also implemented security measures.
As of the latest public reports, there has been no confirmation of fatalities.
Information about possible injuries is being clarified.
Law enforcement agencies continue to investigate all circumstances of the incident, including the possible number of attackers and the motives behind the incident.
