WEST BLOOMFIELD (ANP) - Bij een grote synagoge in West Bloomfield in de Amerikaanse staat Michigan is sprake van een situatie met een "actieve schutter", meldt de lokale politie op X. Onduidelijk is of er slachtoffers zijn. Bij de synagoge zou onder meer een basisschool en voorschoolse opvang zijn gevestigd. Volgens lokale media zouden die op het moment geopend zijn.
Volgens nieuwszender Fox 2 zou iemand met zijn auto op het pand zijn ingereden, waarna werd geschoten. De auto zou in brand zijn gevlogen. Op livebeelden is te zien hoe rook opstijgt van nabij de ingang van de Temple Israel, een liberaal-joodse synagoge.
De politie en brandweer zijn in groten getale ter plaatse. Nabijgelegen scholen en religieuze instellingen zijn opgeroepen tot nader order te sluiten, en aanwezigen om te schuilen.
Naar eigen zeggen is de Temple Israel de grootste liberaal-joodse synagoge van de Verenigde Staten.

Introducing Archibald Delicate Balance Limited Edition by Shepard Fairey × Poltrona Frau—the first release of our 2026 collection.
Poltrona Frau and Shepard Fairey weave their respective visions together to create the new Archibald Delicate Balance Limited Edition: a cultural statement that brings together street art and Italian savoir-faire in a unique dialogue between art, care for nature, innovation, and timeless beauty.
Designed in 2009 by Jean-Marie Massaud, Archibald is one of Poltrona Frau’s most iconic armchairs, a synthesis of sculptural elegance and comfort.
Today, the interpretation by Shepard Fairey, one of the most influential voices in contemporary street art, amplifies its legacy, transforming it into a contemporary manifesto: an invitation to pause, observe, and recognize the preciousness and vulnerability of our connection with nature.
We are all hanging by a thread, even flowers and nature. We human beings should learn to move with the same delicacy and awareness as the animals and small birds, who, when they land, do so with infinite lightness, understanding the need to respect and preserve the very thread that sustains them. -Shepard
Archibald Delicate Balance will be officially presented during Milano Design Week 2026. Only 200 numbered pieces, available exclusively at a curated selection of Poltrona Frau flagship stores and authorized retailers worldwide.
