The man who allegedly held Jewish worshippers hostage at a Texas synagogue was a British citizen.

The suspect who died at the scene after allegedly taking hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth, Saturday was a British national, according to the U.K. government’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

"We are aware of the death of a British man in Texas and are in contact with the local authorities," a spokesperson for the office said in an emailed statement to Fox News Digital.

Was he of Somalian decent? Just guessing because of how the Media is presenting this story.

How did he get in the US?

Got news for you, we just let in thousands more like him, from Afghanistan.

Wait for the phrase “was known to authorities” to pop up in media coverage, but not too prominently.

"The FBI has identified the gunman who held hostages at a Texas synagogue for over 10 hours as a British national named Malik Faisal Akram. All the hostages being held in the synagogue were freed on Saturday evening, with no injuries reported."

“I heard an earlier radio report saying that Aafia Siddiqui (a female) is the dead man’s sister. “

Not true.

DHS didn’t know about this guy?

They had other priorities, like investigating conservatives.

I knew what he called the police” coppers” he was from UK.

It’s unclear how the individual entered the U.S.

An airplane flight from London would be my guess.

Fake news. The only evil is homegrown white male rage terrorism.

Hopefully a lone wolf.

With plenty of people backing him and encouraging him.

The "lone wolf" story is merely an excuse to avoid looking at the true cause of the problem.

Well, that’s the ending I was hoping for.

Sorry, when someone takes a group hostage, my patience has
left the building.
