Re: Hostage situation at Texas synagogue!
One of the people who has been held hostage for hours inside a Texas synagogue has been released, according to local police.Sgt. Dara Nelson with the Colleyville Police Department says the man was released uninjured around 6 p.m. ET.
“FBI Crisis Negotiators continue contact with the subject,” Nelson added.Investigators believe three hostages are still being held inside Congregation Beth Israel.
The hostage that the gunman just released can probably clue the police in, as to how many hostages are
still being held.

Re: Hostage situation at Texas synagogue!
- All of the four hostages held at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, are out and safe, according to authorities.
- The suspected hostage taker is dead. Authorities have identified him but cannot yet release his identity to the public, the FBI said.
- Two law enforcement officials say investigators believe the suspect may have been motivated by a desire to free Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving an 86-year sentence on charges of attempting to kill US service members.
