<p>Law enforcement officials in Texas are negotiating with a man who has allegedly taken hostages during services at a synagogue in Colleyville, which is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.</p>
<p>&#8220;The service was being livestreamed on Facebook, and the live recording has continued to capture muffled audio of what sounds like negotiations with police,&#8221; the Fort Worth Star Telegram <a href="https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article257360862.html">reported</a>. &#8220;The man has repeatedly mentioned his sister and Islam and used profanities. At one point, another voice can be heard apparently talking on the phone to police. The man has said a few times he didn’t want anyone hurt, and he has mentioned his children.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Colleyville Police Department posted updates on their Twitter account alerting the public to ongoing police activity, and instructing people to avoid the area.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are currently conducting SWAT operations around the 6100 block of Pleasant Run Rd. All residents in the immediate area are being evacuated. Please avoid the area,&#8221; the department wrote. &#8220;UPDATE 1/15/22, 1:20 PM The situation at the 6100 block of Pleasant Run Road posted about earlier remains ongoing. We ask that you continue to avoid the area. We will continue to provide updates via social media.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t cry on the f***ing phone with me,&#8221; a person, who is allegedly the hostage taker, said on the livestream. &#8220;Don&#8217;t f***ing cry on me. I have 6 beautiful kids &#8230; There are hostages in the synagogue who are going to die. &#8230; What are you crying for?&#8221;</p>

<p>“Dealing with firearms, it is irrational, with all due respect to the governor of Texas, irrational what they are doing,” Biden told reporters on September 2. “On the very day you see a mass shooting … and we’re talking about loosening access to have guns, to be able to take them into places of worship, it’s just absolutely irrational. It’s totally irrational.”</p>
