An elite FBI hostage rescue team breached a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, Saturday night, safely recovering three remaining captives after a more than 10-hour hostage situation, federal and local officials said. The lone suspect is dead, authorities added.
"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 more than 10 hours after a suspect entered Congregation Beth Israel as the synagogue was livestreaming its Sabbath morning service on Facebook at around 11 a.m. (noon ET) Saturday. The livestream appeared to capture part of the incident before it was removed.
