It appears that at least some of the attackers may have gotten away, with RT reporting the following statement:
The suspects drove away in a white Volkswagen Polo, the police said, adding that they are currently searching for the vehicle.
The below includes more details via state-backed RT:
The assailants in Derbent reportedly broke into the Orthodox church and killed a local priest by slitting his throat, said Shamil Khadulaev, the head of the regional public oversight committee which monitors the observance of human rights in prisons. Other regional authorities have not commented on this information.
The synagogue was reportedly set on fire. Videos and photos have surfaced on social media purporting to show the building engulfed in flames.

Judging from some of the details to have emerged thus far, this appears to have been an Islamist terror attack, possibly by ISIS or an affiliated group.
The situation including efforts to apprehend the gunmen may have occurred over a period of hours.

Potential Jewish casualties from the synagogue attack remain uncertain in the immediate aftermath, and as more details emerge.
Russia has been on edge ever since the March 22, 2024 Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow, which killed at least 145 and wounded hundreds more after heavily armed gunmen stormed the mall and concert venue. ISIS-K took responsibility for the large-scall killings in the aftermath. This new Dagestan attack could be a copy-cat incident.
