ashley: what we just a heard was investigators and first responders in colleyville, texas in regard to the hostage standoff that is now over. whohostage taker is dead and for hostages that were taken were not hurt. they wouldn t say much about the individual the hostage taker himself as that will come out in, you know, coming days with this investigation as it unfolds. but four people were rescued and unharmed hostage taker did not harm them. specific demanding also wasn t directed toward the jewish community. which that was a big question that people have had throughout the day. amid this synagogue do we still have david katz live with us? still here. ashley: david i want your initial reaction to everything that came out of that news conference. well this is you know, i m really pleased that i now have this information
and at that point successful conclusion. but there was some reason they chose that moment. ashley: and then the special agent in charge in dallas he said that he believed hostage taker was fix a on a different issue but t jewish community but this still make places of worship a target even though it wasn t apparently directed towards the jewish community? yeah that s only i mean if i had to be a little more critical so we have someone with a tie to apparently islamic radical who is in prison. that individual just happens to decide to target i ll tell you resident of texas not too many synagogues in texas in general. so i think that s only one in colleyville if i m not mistaken so that is kind of not sure about that. going to take the department store or a supermarket you know why a synagogue?
conversation along trying to build repore it is an art, and you know if there s no reason to put the who is hostage at risk by entering why not talk the guy out. in this case at some point there s some reason they decided to go to have him i m assuming we re going to be told why that was became a serk. i m seeing a lot of law enforcement, investigators what looks like investigators out of texas walking across the parking lot to this staging area. i think we re going to listen here and as soon as i m going to go to them and david i want you to hang on the phone to talk about what they say but we re going take this live right now stick with us david. good evening everyone thank you for covering this i m michael miller chief of police in colleyville, texas i want to give you an update we ve been out here all day.
