The FBI joined local and state police to surround a synagogue in Coleville, Texas, a city of about 26,000 residents about 15 miles northeast of Fort Worth, where a man has been holding the rabbi and four other people hostage since late morning. A few minutes ago, the hostage taker released a man who was suffering from a medical condition.
The incident is unfolding at Congregation Beth Israel, a Reform synagogue.
The services were livestreamed on Zoom, so the hostage taking was broadcasted to all members of the congregation who were participating in the services from home.
