Law enforcement agencies responded to a Texas synagogue in what the White House called a "developing hostage situation." Police confirmed they were "conducting SWAT operations" around Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas. The Colleyville Police department tweeted the situation was ongoing as of 3:20 p.m. Eastern. Colleyville, a community of about 26,000 people, is about 15 miles northeast of Fort Worth and 25 miles northwest of Dallas. Shortly after 5 p.m. Eastern, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted President Joe Biden was briefed about the "developing hostage situation in the Dallas area." "He will continue to receive updates from his senior team as the situation develops," Psaki tweeted. "Senior members of the national security team are also in touch with federal law enforcement leadership." Authorities were negotiating with a man inside, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported — a situation that for a time was livestreamed on the synagogue's Facebook page. The livestream cut out around 2:50 p.m. Eastern and was unavailable after it was stopped. Follow updates at the link in our bio
