Photos reveal devastation inside Michigan synagogue after attack

New photos obtained by Fox News Digital show extensive damage inside Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, after a suspect rammed a vehicle into the building and opened fire last week.

Images reveal blackened hallways, shattered glass, and debris scattered across floors, including inside areas used by children.

The photos provide the clearest look yet at the aftermath of what authorities described as a "targeted act of violence against the Jewish community."

The synagogue houses an early childhood center, and officials said all children and staff were safely accounted for after the attack.

Photos show long interior corridors coated in soot, with exposed ductwork hanging overhead and debris littering the ground.

Walls appear charred and darkened, with visible structural damage.

Authorities say the suspect, identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, allegedly drove a truck into the synagogue and opened fire at security guards. A security guard shot and killed the suspect.

Authorities described Ghazali's vehicle as "traveling with purpose," and 30 first responders were treated for smoke inhalation.
