What we know about the suspect in the West Bloomfield temple attack

The FBI, leading a terrorism investigation, identified Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon, as the suspect who drove a truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. During the attack, the truck stopped near the early childhood center, leading to a gunfire exchange with security, and eventually caught fire, resulting in Ghazali's death. The incident caused multiple injuries among first responders, though no children or staff were harmed. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire and any materials inside the truck, with further information expected at a press conference.
