(West Bloomfield, MI) – The FBI says the suspect who drove a truck into a synagogue near Detroit Thursday died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Security officers fired shots at his vehicle and the truck burst into flames when it crashed into Temple Israel. Authorities have identified the man who drove the truck as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who was born in Lebanon and immigrated to the U.S. in 2011. Ghazali’s truck was carrying a large amount of fireworks along with jugs of gasoline.
He reportedly had posted online the night before that several of his relatives had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon.
