TX: Man who sold gun to Malik Faisal Akram sentenced to nearly 8 years in prison

The man who sold a gun to a terrorist Malik Faisal Akram, prior to Akram holding people hostage, is sentenced to nearly eight-years in prison. Henry Williams pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm earlier this year. Malik Akram used the weapon he bought from Williams when Akram held four Jewish members of Congregation Beth Israel, including a rabbi, hostage in their own synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. An eleven-hour standoff took place before Akram was fatally shot by federal officers, allowing the 4 Jewish hostages to finally be set free.
