Biden calls Texas synagogue attack 'act of terror'

"This was an act of terror; it was an act of terror," Biden said in a visit to Philadelphia, adding that there was not sufficient information on why the gunman had targeted the synagogue.

An FBI Hostage Rescue Team stormed the synagogue on Saturday night to free the remaining three hostages; one other hostage had been freed earlier.

Biden was in Philadelphia to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a visit to the Philabundance food bank, the same stop he made last year.
