JUST IN: FBI have identified the suspect in a deadly standoff at a Texas synagogue Saturday as a 44-year-old British citizen.
As Akram was allegedly speaking, the broadcast only showed a screen with written guidance on silent prayer and the words,"My God, guard my speech from evil and my lips from deception. Before those who slander me, I will hold my tongue; I will practice humility."
"Rabbi Charlie is at his core, an incredibly kind and holy man," Zelling said."His presence has made a profound impact on my life." A motive for the incident is under investigation. The FBI’s Evidence Response Team was processing evidence at the synagogue on Sunday and the bureau's North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, was investigating leads in the case, DeSarno said in his statement.
During the standoff, it was unclear to what extent the hostage-taker was armed, authorities said. The suspect was carrying backpacks and had said that he possessed explosives. Law enforcement officials would not say at a news conference whether he actually had explosives.
