WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – “Everyone is safe.” That’s the main takeaway from Thursday’s thwarted terrorist attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.
Temple Israel released a statement on social media after security personnel shot the suspected gunman:
“Everyone is safe. All 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe.
As you have no doubt heard, Temple Israel was the victim of a terrorist gunman who was confronted and neutralized by our security personnel who are truly heroes. Our teachers followed their training and kept the children safe and calm.
We are deeply and humbly grateful to our teachers, staff, security, law enforcement, and Shenendoah Country Club that welcomed us, fed us, and sheltered our staff, teachers, children, and parents. What incredible neighbors we have. What incredible police force we have.
This note is coming to you before we know anything about our future programming or services, or any investigation. We wanted you to know we are safe, and we love you all.”
Law enforcement is still investigating and have not released an official motive.
