The FBI is calling the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township on Thursday a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.
Federal investigators have identified the suspect as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, and overnight, federal agents could be seen raiding his home in Dearborn Heights.

Officials say Ghazali rammed his vehicle into the temple early Thursday afternoon. After a gunfight with security, he shot himself in the head and died.
Overnight, the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force raided his home on Gulley Road, searching for evidence tied to the attack. Agents were seen carrying out over a dozen sealed paper bags and boxes.

Former FBI agent Andy Bartnowak said investigators are not just focused on motive — they're also working to determine if Ghazali acted alone and if there could be other threats.
“They’ll be looking for any cellphones, laptops, any other personal electronic devices to see if there’s any digital footprints, and any communication between the assailant and whoever else he may have communicated with about this attack," Bartnowak said.
Here's what we are learning about Ghazali. The Department of Homeland Security said the 41-year-old suspect moved from Lebanon to the United States in 2011 on an immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen.
He became a naturalized citizen in 2016.

A town official in Mashghara, Lebanon, told ABC News that the suspect's family was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the town on the night on March 5.
That town official told ABC that Ghazali's two brothers, Qassem and Ibrahim, and Ibrahim's two children, a 4-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy, were killed. Ibrahim's wife was also critically injured in the airstrike and is currently in the hospital with a fractured skull, broken pelvis and broken legs.
Sources also told 7 News Detroit Ghazali worked at a Dearborn Heights restaurant but was on leave for the last 10 days, ever since his family members were killed.
One of Ghazali's neighbors told 7 News Detroit that he didn't know him very well, but they would exchange pleasantries from time to time.
"Shock, confusion, sadness, pretty much all the negative feelings you could feel about this were happening," neighbor Chadi Zreik said.

He added, "Nobody condones this. Dearborn is a very close-knit community. Christians, Jews, Muslims, all of us, we all know what's going on in this city... everybody's connected here. But the fact that we didn't see this... was truly shocking."
