Welcome to the beat. We are tracking the breaking news on two tragic attacks today. First, FBI and local

officials are imminently planning to hold a briefing on the synagogue attack in West Bloomfield,

Michigan, a suspect driving a car into Temple Israel. A suspect died after a confrontation with

security officers, one of whom suffered minor injuries. At this hour,

we have no reason to think anyone else was hurt, the situation under control, and we're awaiting

that briefing. Also today, really just quite a few hours earlier, a gunman opened fire at Old

Dominion University in North Fork, Virginia. One person killed. Two others hurt. The gunman now dead.

He had served in the Army National Guard and was previously convicted on attempting to support ISIS.

The FBI is now the lead investigative agency investigating this as an act of terrorism.

The shooter has been identified as Muhammad Baylor Jallo.

In 2016, Jallo was arrested and pled guilty for attempting to provide material support to ISIL.

I'm joined now by Mark Fantiam, as now investigative reporter.

He has been covering the synagogue attack for us today,

and Mark Clackson, retired NYPD detective,

who can weigh in on both of these incidents.

Mark, when you look at that link to a past terror history,

what do you see here?

I'm sorry, Mark Clarkson, yes, sir.

That happens.

Yeah, it does.

The common link is the sense of what's going on around the world and a lot of the activity that's going on abroad.

And the difficulty that our Federal Bureau of Investigation, our federal enforcers, are having with timely, efficient, effective intelligence gathering and dissemination as well.
