A Texas man has been charged with selling a gun to a British man who held four people hostage inside a synagogue earlier this month
Henry "Michael" Williams was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after authorities found that he sold a weapon to hostage-taker Maisal Faisal Akram.
Akram - originally from Blackburn - held a rabbi and three others hostage for hours after entering Congregation Beth Israel in Colleysville, Texas, on January 15. Williams sold Akram a semi-automatic pistol on January 13 - two days before the hostage-taking. prosecutors said. The stand-off ended after more than 10 hours when the temple's rabbi threw a chair at Akram and fled with the other two remaining hostages just as an FBI tactical team was moving in.
