(CNN)The FBI and Texas Department of Public Safety are assisting a hostage situation at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, according to Colleyville Police Sgt Dara Nelson.

There are no injuries at this time, Nelson said, adding that police have evacuated the area.

"The FBI negotiators are the ones who have contact with the person in the building." Nelson said. There is "no threat to the general public" at this time, Nelson added.

Police are asking people to avoid the area.

"SWAT operations" are going on in the area. CNN is talking about a possibility of this being a family dispute, but say they're just speculating.

I certainly hope this isn't an anti-Semitic attack.

1. There was mention of wanting to free a sibling from a Texas prison.

On ABC comment sites they are saying it is about this person:

Hope the FBI folks can talk whoever is doing this down.
