Albany, NY — A 28-year-old man is in custody after allegedly firing two shots from a shotgun at Temple Israel in Albany around 2:00 p.m., prompting an immediate response from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Governor Hochul has confirmed that investigators are actively working to determine the motive behind the incident and whether Temple Israel was the intended target.
As of now, there are no reported injuries or fatalities related to the shooting. The suspect, with a history of criminal activity, has been detained and is awaiting an arraignment. Governor Hochul disclosed that the individual made “threatening statements” during the incident, raising concerns about the nature of the attack.
The Albany Police Department is collaborating with other law enforcement entities to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event. While an early childhood center on the property was initially locked down as a precautionary measure, parents were later allowed to retrieve their children.
Governor Hochul, in communication with Rabbi Wendy Love Anderson, assured the congregation of Temple Israel that protective measures are in place. She emphasized that there is currently no ongoing threat to the community. The governor urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement as they work to gather more information.
Updates on the investigation will be provided as they become available, and the community is encouraged to stay informed and supportive during this challenging time.
