A Texas man accused of selling a gun to the British man who held four people hostage inside a synagogue has been charged with a federal gun crime.

The Justice Department said Henry "Michael" Williams, 32, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after authorities say he sold the weapon Maisal Faisal Akram used when he entered Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, on January 15 and held the rabbi and three others hostage for hours before being fatally shot by the FBI.
