After more than 10 hours of negotiations with the police, the four people who were held hostage in a synagogue on the outskirts of Dallas in Texas were rescued without any injuries, while the police shot the perpetrator to death.
The incident took place in the small Texas town of Colleyville – and the perpetrator was reportedly seeking the release of a convicted terrorist.
Colleyville Police Chief Michael Miller told a news conference: A rescue team entered the synagogue. The suspect is dead. He has not harmed any of the hostages, they are all in good health.
Journalists meanwhile reported that there was a loud explosion and gunshots in the synagogue shortly before the police press conference.
ABC News reported that the hostage-taker was armed and had claimed to have bombs in unknown locations. But this was not confirmed by the police even though Miller said that “bomb technicians are inspecting the scene”.
According to ABC News, the man was demanding the release of Aafia Siddiqui, who has been dubbed “Lady Kaeda” by American tabloids.
DeSarno said at the press conference that the suspect had been identified but did not disclose his identity.
