In the end, things happened very quickly: security forces stormed the synagogue, shot the kidnapper and freed the three remaining hostages, who were unharmed. At nine o’clock in the evening, the special task force entered the synagogue and freed the hostages, said Colleyville Police Chief Michael Miller after the operation.
