The suspect was found dead in the vehicle that rammed into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Mich., on Thursday afternoon, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

No children or staff were injured, but one of the security guards was taken to the hospital after being hit by the vehicle, Bouchard said, CNN reported. The guard is expected to recover.

Bouchard said that the suspect drove through the doors of the building and down the hall, and that at this point, officials believe there was only one person in the car. He also noted that security saw and engaged the suspect in gunfire.

Multiple law enforcement officials told the media outlet that emergency responders found what appeared to be a large amount of explosives in the back of the vehicle.
