The cause of death for Malik Akram, the British national who took four people hostage, including a rabbi, at a Colleyville synagogue, was found to be “multiple gunshot wounds.”

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office has released the cause of death for the British national who took four people hostage, including a rabbi, at a Colleyville synagogue.Akram was killed by an FBI hostage rescue team after those inside escaped.

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Thursday that what happened at Congregation Beth Israel was targeted terrorism at the Jewish community. "This was not some random occurrence. It was intentional. It was symbolic," Wray said. "And we're not going to tolerate antisemitism in this country." Authorities are set to hold a press conference at 3 p.m. Friday to release additional information on their investigation into this case.
