A suspect is dead after local, state and federal law enforcement authorities responded to an "active shooting" at a Reform Jewish synagogue Thursday in West Bloomfield, Michigan. The suspect allegedly rammed a vehicle into the house of worship and opened fire, according to authorities.
The shooting, which unfolded at about 12:30 p.m. local time Thursday, took place at Temple Israel, according to Michigan State Police.
The suspect's truck was "traveling with purpose," when it slammed into the doors of the synagogue, knocking a security guard unconscious.
A senior federal law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News that another armed security guard shot and killed the suspect after he allegedly opened fire with a rifle.
During the shooting, something in the truck ignited, causing a fire inside the vehicle, according to authorities. The suspect's body is badly burned.
Officials would not confirm whether explosives were in the truck, but said law enforcement is clearing the area using bomb K-9s.
