Officers learned the man had used a phone app to mask his voice as he made repeated threats against the synagogue.

Minneapolis police say they arrested a man accused of saying he would "shoot up" Temple Israel in threatening phone calls made last month.

Minneapolis police deployed extra patrols to synagogues and Jewish community centers for the Jewish holy days and the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.

Staff at Temple Israel in Minneapolis told police they received several phone calls from the individual on Sept. 11.
