He had sent his sister numerous messages-including videos and photos-stating his intent to carry out a mass attack and signaling Hezbollah-inspired beliefs. He also had acquired a rifle and ammunition from a Dearborn Heights shop. Ghazali died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon said this was not a lone-wolf attack but one carried out on behalf of a terrorist organization, specifically Hezbollah, with the group\u2019s direction and influence. He argued that terrorist propaganda aims to prompt such actors to act for the organization, regardless of whether Hezbollah\u2019s leadership directly ordered the attack. FBI official Jennifer Runyan corroborated that Ghazali sought to kill as many people as possible and was motivated by Hezbollah\u2019s militant ideology. Ghazali was born in Lebanon, the country associated with Hezbollah.
