US media reported that a man took hostages at a synagogue in Colville, Texas, on Saturday.
The American Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that a team of rapid intervention police surrounded the building, asked residents of the area to evacuate nearby homes, and that he negotiated with the man holding the hostages.
According to the newspaper, the beginning of the incident was filmed live on Facebook, when the gunman entered and started shouting about religious matters (which she did not explain).
In turn, the American website, The Daily Beast, said that the live broadcast continued for a period of time, without being able to see anyone in the place, but a voice of a man with a British accent was heard threatening to shoot anyone who interfered.
No injuries were reported inside the building, according to a report in the Dallas Morning News.
