The man injured in an attack Thursday on a Jewish synagogue in West Bloomfield Township was a longtime police veteran with extensive experience in stopping active shooters, according to the temple.

During a Shabbat observance Friday, leaders of Temple Israel identified the injured man as Danny Phillips. Phillips is Temple Israel's director of security, according to the temple's website.

Authorities said a guard at the temple, now identified as Phillips, was hurt Thursday when Ayman Ghazali, 41, of Dearborn Heights slammed his Ford F-150 through the front doors of Temple Israel on Walnut Lake Road and engaged in gunfire with the synagogue's security team.

Phillips was hospitalized following the attack, authorities said.
