The FBI is confirming special agents shot to death the suspect in an attack on a North Texas synagogue. Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno told reporters today Malik Akram was becoming erratic during negotiations last Saturday at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville. He also made multiple demands and threats. They're not sure how Akram got a hold of his weapon in the U.S. but say they've been successfully tracking his movements. Akram traveled from England to New York City before making his way to North Texas. It's believed he purposefully targeted the synagogue.
