“It was an act of terrorism,” TASS quotes Biden.

A previously unknown assailant took hostages at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas.

Later, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the release of all hostages.

The attacker has died.

The Texas police said they were negotiating with the invader "all day", and in the evening the security forces entered the synagogue and freed the hostages.

The police are currently investigating the perpetrator's contacts.
