Synagogue attacker Jihad Al-Shamie died from multiple gunshot wounds after he ran towards armed police “aggressively”, while carrying a knife and wearing what appeared to be a suicide belt, an inquest has heard.
The inquest into the death of Al-Shamie, 35, who launched his attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, on October 2, was opened and adjourned at Manchester Coroner’s Court on Friday.
