CBS Detroit producer "Brandon" on his upbringing at West Bloomfield Township, Michigan's Temple Israel as its under threat from an active shooter: “[A]s someone who grew up in this area, like I have spent a lot of time at temple Israel, I think we mentioned that it is one of the largest synagogues in the country I’ve also had a lot of text messages, people reaching out to me wondering what’s going on. This is you know, obviously a very unprecedented and we are still working to figure out exactly, you know, what happened. But yeah, Rochelle, I mean, a lot of people are impacted. This is a very holy place. And again, like we had talked about a little bit earlier, like, for it to be a Thursday afternoon. And we even saw too, lik,e in the parking lot that there weren’t a lot of cars there. And, you know, that it’s a good thing I mean, it wasn’t like a, you know, crowded or a lot of people there per se. And usually on the weekends is when it would be busier. But yeah, a lot of people right now definitely concerned, wondering what’s going on. And there’s a lot of schools and Jewish organizations within a mile to two miles of Temple Israel. And like we said earlier there’s the Jewish Community Center, which houses the Frankel Jewish Academy. That’s a private Jewish school. I can’t confirm if there was class day for if students were there but that school is located upstairs at the JCC, so yeah, we’re — we’re still working to confirm exactly what happened.” “It’s really scary. Like, I — I grew up here. I — I know West Bloomfield like the back of my hand. I mean, I’ve — I’ve never moved. I’ve never left. It’s a very tight knit Jewish community. I myself being Jewish, like, I grew up her. A lot of friends from this area. And a lot of times when you see situations like this happen, it happens elsewhere and you still feel impacted. But when it happens in your backyard, that’s when it really takes a toll. Yeah, the last hour, I’ve definitely been scared. I mean, on edge. You can hear it, my voice a little bit. It’s just a very — you know, fluid situation. And like, you just, you start getting like bombarded with text and people are calling and like, they want to know what’s going on and you just, you never expect that something like this would happen, you know, here at home.”
