Texas synagogue hostage taker was British – reports
16 January 2022
A hostage taker who detained four people at a synagogue in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, was a British citizen, reports say.
The man interrupted a morning service in Colleyville on Saturday and has since died.
Police deployed special weapons teams, while FBI negotiators spent hours talking to the assailant.
Explosions and gunfire could be heard before the ten-hour stand-off ended. The hostages have been freed unharmed.
In a statement, the Foreign Office said it was aware of the death of a British man in Texas and was in contact with the local authorities. It is not yet clear how the hostage-taker died or who he was.
