Major Vaus told CNN that members of the congregation attempted to overpower the gunman.

An armed off-duty border patrol officer who was inside the synagogue also returned the gunman's fire, police revealed.

No info on the shooter yet, he was apprehended. This was at last day of Passover ceremony, and 6 months since shooting at synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Too bad they don't feel the same way about identifying the weapon.
