UPDATE: CBS News is reporting that the FBI is investigating the incident as a lone wolf terror attack. Suspect is a Somali, Mohamed Barry:

 

CBS News has identified the suspect as Mohamed Barry, however neither 10TV nor Columbus Police have confirmed the suspect’s name. CBS News also reports Barry has a Somali background and may have traveled to Dubai in 2012.

 

Law enforcement tells them the incident appears to be the type of “lone wolf terrorist attacks they’re trying to stop.”

 

The FBI is assisting in the investigation.

 

Original post:

 

A suspect who attacked patrons and staff at the Nazareth Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, with a machete last night was shot and killed by police minutes later, and there are some indications that the attack may have been motivated by the owner's Israeli heritage.

 

Four people were transported to the hospital, one critically injured. Victims were able to get video of the suspect's car and a partial license plate. Police were able to locate the suspect's vehicle and gave chase. After spinning the car out, the suspect emerged with both a machete and a knife and lunged at police, at which point the suspect was shot and killed.
