Armed police officers appear to have killed one of the victims of the Manchester synagogue terrorist attack and injured another after opening fire on the suspect.

In a statement, the Greater Manchester police chief constable, Sir Stephen Watson, said the Home Office pathologist had provisionally determined that one of the two victims killed on Thursday died of a gunshot wound.
