（美国有线电视新闻网）美国联邦调查局周日确认，一名 44 岁的英国国民马利克·费萨尔·阿克拉姆（Malik Faisal Akram）是周六在德克萨斯州犹太教堂长达数小时的对峙中劫持四人为人质的人，随后一支救援队进入大楼并击毙了嫌疑人。
晚上 9 点左右人质获释后，FBI 人质救援队杀死了 Akram。该机构称，当地时间。位于德克萨斯州科利维尔的贝斯以色列会众的犯罪现场调查人员 - 距沃斯堡约 15 英里 - 找到了一支他们认为属于阿克拉姆的枪支，酒精、烟草、枪支和爆炸物管理局的发言人告诉美国有线电视新闻网。
“祈祷得到了回应。所有人质都活着并且安全，”州长格雷格·阿博特在犹太教堂方向听到一声巨响和枪声后约 20 分钟发推文。
科利维尔警察局局长迈克尔米勒说，该决议是在阿克拉姆进入犹太教堂近 11 小时后提出的，该教堂在周六上午 11 点左右在 Facebook 和 Zoom 上直播了安息日早间服务。直播似乎在被删除之前捕捉到了部分事件。
包括拉比查理塞特隆沃克在内的四人最初被劫持为人质。下午 5 点左右，一名男子人质被释放，安然无恙，科利维尔警察中士。达拉尼尔森说。
Cytron-Walker 说枪手在人质危机的最后一个小时变得“越来越好战和威胁”。
在给 CNN 的一份声明中，Cytron-Walker 将这次磨难描述为“创伤经历”。他说，由于他的会众多年来接受了多项安全课程，他和其他人质今天还活着。
“如果没有我们收到的指示，我们就不会准备好在情况出现时采取行动并逃离，”Cytron-Walker 说。 “我鼓励所有犹太会众、宗教团体、学校和其他人参加主动射击和安全课程。”
总统乔拜登周日告诉记者，当局“只是没有足够的事实”来推测为什么一名男子周六袭击了德克萨斯州科利维尔的一座犹太教堂，劫持了四名人质，称对峙是“恐怖行为”。
FBI identifies hostage-taker at Texas synagogue
(CNN)The FBI on Sunday identified Malik Faisal Akram, a 44-year-old British national, as the man who held four people hostage at a Texas synagogue in an hours-long standoff Saturday before a rescue team entered the building and killed the suspect.
An FBI Hostage Rescue Team killed Akram after the hostages were released around 9 p.m. local time, the agency said. Crime scene investigators at the Beth Israel Congregation in Colleyville, Texas -- about 15 miles from Fort Worth -- recovered one firearm they believe belonged to Akram, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told CNN.
"Prayers answered. All hostages are out alive and safe," Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted about 20 minutes after a large bang and gunfire were heard in the direction of the synagogue.
The resolution came nearly 11 hours after Akram entered the synagogue as it livestreamed its Sabbath morning service on Facebook and Zoom at around 11 a.m. Saturday, Colleyville Police Chief Michael Miller said. The livestream appeared to capture part of the incident before it was removed.
Four people, including Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, were initially taken hostage. One hostage, a man, was released unharmed around 5 p.m., Colleyville Police Sgt. Dara Nelson said.
Cytron-Walker said the gunman became "increasingly belligerent and threatening" in the last hour of their hostage crisis.
In a statement to CNN, Cytron-Walker described the ordeal as a "traumatic experience." He said that he and the other hostages are alive today due to the multiple security courses his congregation has taken over the years.
"Without the instruction we received, we would not have been prepared to act and flee when the situation presented itself," Cytron-Walker said. "I encourage all Jewish congregations, religious groups, schools, and others to participate in active-shooter and security courses."
President Joe Biden told reporters Sunday authorities "just don't have enough facts" to speculate why a man targeted a Colleyville, Texas synagogue, taking four hostages Saturday, calling the standoff "an act of terror."
"I don't-- we don't have I don't think there is sufficient information to know about why he targeted that synagogue, why he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over 10 years, why he was engaged, why he was using an anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli comments," Biden told reporters.
