Suspect who attacked Michigan synagogue is dead and security guard injured, police say

A suspect in an attack on a synagogue in the Detroit area is dead after ramming a truck into the building and being confronted by synagogue security, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. However, there are no reported injuries among students or staff on site.

The sheriff's department says law enforcement responded to an "active shooter situation" at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Thursday afternoon.

Bouchard said a man drove through the doors of the building and down a hallway. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspect rammed the vehicle into the synagogue, then exited the vehicle with a rifle and was then shot by synagogue security, though Bouchard would not say how the suspect died.
