A terror attack outside a synagogue in Manchester left two Jewish worshippers dead and four others badly injured on Thursday morning. The community had gathered to mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The suspect drove a car into people walking on the street before attacking them with a knife. Armed police shot and killed him within minutes of the first emergency call.
Greater Manchester Police got a call at 9:31 am about the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall. Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle being driven by members of the public. The attacker then got out of his car and began attacking people with a knife. He was wearing a vest that looked like it had an explosive device, though police later found it was not a real threat.
