A series of violent incidents occurred over 700 miles apart, including a deadly shooting at Virginia's Old Dominion University and a targeted vehicle-ramming attack on a Michigan synagogue. The shooter, a convicted ISIS supporter, killed one person and injured two others before being subdued by students. The Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township was targeted by a US citizen who was born in Lebanon and had been on high alert for potential violence in the weeks leading up to the attack. While the motive for the attack is still unknown, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said there was a clear "nexus" between the Iran war and the attack, adding it’s no coincidence the suspect targeted a synagogue named Temple Israel. The country is in a “heightened threat environment” since the Iran War, according to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
