US EditionWhat to Know About Attacks at Old Dominion University and a Michigan Synagogue
Authorities are probing possible terrorism motives after attacks at a Michigan synagogue and Virginia university left two dead and several injured, amid rising hate crimes, FBI data shows.
- On Thursday, two violent attacks struck different states: a shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia killing one and wounding two, and a truck ramming into Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan.
- Amid heightened security since February 28, Ghazali lost relatives in an Israeli attack, while Jalloh's past ISIS support prompts investigation of ideological links, authorities said.
- At Temple Israel, all 140 children were safely evacuated and accounted for while 30 law enforcement officers were treated for smoke inhalation and one security officer was briefly knocked unconscious.
- FBI officials said the synagogue assault was a 'targeted act of violence against the Jewish community' but lacked evidence to call it terrorism, while Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said 'It was hate, plain and simple' and praised ROTC students and synagogue security.
- Rising antisemitic incidents and regional strikes have prompted national security concern, with ADL reporting 9,354 anti-Semitic incidents in 2024, amid heightened alerts since in recent years.
