Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker told \u201cCBS Mornings\u201d on Monday that he let the gunman inside the suburban Fort Worth synagogue Saturday because he appeared to need shelter.\u00a0 He says the man was not threatening or suspicious at first. Later, he heard a gun click as he was praying. Authorities identified the hostage-taker as 44-year-old British national Malik Faisal Akram, who was killed Saturday night after the last hostages ran out of Congregation Beth Israel around 9 p.m. The FBI on Sunday night issued a statement calling the ordeal \u201ca terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas rabbi says he, 2 hostages escaped synagogue standoff Jan 17, 2022 4:13 PM COLLEYVILLE, Texas (AP) \u2014 The rabbi of a Texas synagogue where a gunman took hostages during livestreamed services says he threw a chair at his captor before escaping with two others after an hours long standoff.
