A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security. That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday. The person said the vehicle caught on fire after crashing into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township. Investigators are still working to identify the man and a possible motive for the attack. The person could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. Oakland County Sheriff Sheriff Mike Bouchard says a security officer was knocked unconscious but no one else was hurt.

Satellite images and videos of an Iranian girls school damaged by large explosions at the start of a U.S.-Israeli airstrike campaign targeting the Islamic Republic indicate a targeted attack from the air hit the building. That's according to military experts who spoke to The Associated Press. Iran says the blast killed at least 165 people, most of them children. The location of the strike, its affiliation to a coastal defense unit of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and the tight pattern of the damage suggest a targeted airstrike on the site. Several factors point to a U.S. strike, given the proximity of American forces to the school and focus on missile sites and naval forces in the war.

Investigators have found signs of forced entry at the Arizona home of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie's mother. That's according to a person familiar with the investigation who spoke Tuesday to The Associated Press. Meanwhile, the host asked for prayers to help bring back the missing 84-year-old. Authorities believe she was taken against her will. The sheriff said Nancy Guthrie must be found soon because she could die without her medication. Investigators also found evidence showing there was a nighttime kidnapping. Several of Guthrie's personal items, including her cellphone, wallet and her car, were still at the home.

President Donald Trump seemed to signal a willingness to ease tensions in Minneapolis after a second deadly shooting by federal immigration agents. But there was little evidence Wednesday of any significant changes after weeks of harsh rhetoric and clashes with protesters. Trump made a leadership change by sending his top border adviser to Minnesota to take charge of the immigration crackdown. That was followed by seemingly conciliatory remarks about the Democratic governor and mayor. But on city streets, there were few signs of a shift. Immigration enforcement operations and confrontations with activists continued in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

A senior U.S. Border Patrol commander and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis as early as Tuesday. That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino has been at the center of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement surge in cities nationwide. His departure comes as President Donald Trump dispatched border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

There has been no decision, yet, on Minnesota's request to suspend the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Judge Katherine Menendez gave the government until Monday to respond to a request for a restraining order. Plumes of tear gas, the deployment of chemical irritants and the screech of protest whistles have become common on the streets of Minneapolis, where an immigration agent killed Renee Good last week. The Pentagon may send military lawyers to Minneapolis. An official says the agent who shot Good suffered internal bleeding during the incident. No other details were disclosed.

The wife of the woman shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis says the couple had stopped their car to support their neighbors and they had whistles, while the masked agents had guns. It was the first public comment from Rebecca Good about the death of Renee Good, the mother of three killed Wednesday when three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded and tried to force open the door of her Honda Pilot SUV and the vehicle lurched forward. Trump administration officials have painted Renee Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to run over an officer with her vehicle. Rebecca Good described her late wife as a Christian who was trying to build a better world.
