Colleyville: The Gunman who holds four prisoners in a Texas synagogue in a 10-hour deadlock that ends with a rowing hostage and the FBI tactical team rushed to be implanted by several gunshot wounds, according to a medical examiner who ruled the death of a murder.
Medical examiner Tarrant County released initial information from the autopsy Malik Faisal Akram on Friday, six days after 44-year-old British citizen took hostages on the morning service in the Beth Israel Congregation in the suburbs of Colleyville in the Dallas area.
In Texas, the death told the murder showed that one person was killed by others but did not always mean the murder was a crime.
Federal officials have so far refused to say who shot Akram, citing an ongoing investigation.
After taking hostage, Akram could be heard on Facebook Livestream demanding the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neurologist who allegedly had a relationship with Al-Qaeda and was convicted of trying to kill US forces in Afghanistan.
The prison where Siddiqui served his sentence in Fort Worth nearby, but his lawyer said Siddiqui said the prisoner had no connection with Akram.
Akram released hostages shortly after 5 pm but left later said he became more fought and threatened when the night passed.
The deadlock ended around 9pm after Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker said he threw a chair in Akram and him and the other two hostages left.
Videos from the endoff end of the TV station Dallas WFAa showed people running the door of the synagogue, and then a man holding a gun opened the same door just a few seconds later he turned and closed it.
Moments later, several shots and then the explosion could be heard.
Medical examiner decided that Akram died at 9:22 a.m.
Akram comes from the Industrial City of Blackburn England.
His family said he had “suffered a mental health problem.” He arrived in New York on a tourist visa about two weeks before the attack on the synagogue and cleared the check on the law enforcement database without raising the red flag, officials said.
He spent time at Dallas’s homeless protection before the attack.
Authorities believe that he bought a gun used in taking hostages in personal sales, according to someone who is familiar with the problem speaking with anonymous conditions because the investigation is still ongoing.
