Provided context on suspect's background

A 41-year-old naturalized citizen from Lebanon rammed a truck loaded with fireworks and an unidentified chemical accelerant through the front doors of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, on March 12, then exited armed with a rifle. Synagogue security guards shot and killed him before he reached any of the 140 children and staff inside. The building caught fire from the incendiary materials, sending 30 first responders to the hospital for smoke inhalation, but every student and teacher survived unharmed.
