Car crashes into Michigan synagogue followed by shots fired amid huge police response

Police swarmed a Jewish synagogue in Michigan Thursday after a car apparently crashed into the building and witnesses reported hearing gunshots immediately after.

Authorities responded to the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield just before 1 p.m. following reports of the crash, WDIV reported.

Police sources told the outlet the vehicle intentionally plowed into the synagogue before catching fire.

Aerial footage showed smoke wafting from the building in the apparent aftermath.

The synagogue houses a preschool, according to its website.

So far, cops have only described the incident as an “active situation” and urged locals to stay away.

No other details were immediately available.
