13th March 2026
Police responded to reports of an active shooter at 12.19pm on Thursday, in what the FBI described as a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community”.
No-one was seriously injured in the attack, authorities confirmed. One security guard was hit by the car hospitalised after being knocked unconscious by the gunman’s vehicle, police said.
The suspect was found dead in the vehicle at the scene. Mr Bouchard said he could not comment on how the gunman had died.
Two sources told CNN that he had been shot dead by security staff at the synagogue.
