Worshippers at Texas synagogue had offered tea to their captor before he held them hostage

The worshippers at a Texas synagogue had offered tea to their captor before he brandished a gun and held them hostage in a 10-hour siege.

Worshippers invited a stranger into a Texas synagogue when he knocked on their door and offered him tea before he brandished a gun and held them hostage in a 10-hour siege the FBI called a "terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted."

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, who was among the four congregants taken captive on Saturday, the Jewish sabbath, told CBS on Monday that he and others managed to escape after he threw a chair at the hostage-taker and then rushed for an exit door.
