Incredible moment two hostages ESCAPE from gun-toting 'terrorist' who chases them out of Texas synagogue moments before SWAT team storms building, killing him and freeing remaining prisoner
All four hostages have been released after the terrorist was shot and police stormed the synagogue
The suspect had released one hostage earlier in the night, and at around 9pm CST, a loud bang was heard, followed by several gunshots
Dramatic footage captured the moment two of three remaining hostages ran out of the temple, with the gun totting terrorist right behind them before he quickly retreated inside after seeing the nearby SWAT team
A SWAT team had been deployed and the FBI was negotiating with him as the standoff entered hour eleven
The suspect had demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, who was convicted in New York for trying to kill US military personnel, according to an ABC News report
Aafia is also known as 'Lady Al Qaeda' and is serving 86 years at FMC Carswell for attempted murder of a US Army captain, with the prison located 24 miles from the synagogue
The assailant took the hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville during religious services around 11:30am CST
Before the live-stream cut off, the assailant can be heard saying, 'I'm going to die. Don't cry about me'
Police have evacuated nearby residents and Dallas and NYC police are patrolling area synagogues out of precaution as other major US cities follow suit
