Overview

• New doorbell and street‑camera footage places Jihad Al‑Shamie near Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation at 9:22 a.m. on foot and driving back toward the site at 9:26 a.m., shortly before the 9:31 a.m. attack.
• Counter Terrorism Policing North West is leading the case and has been granted further time to question four people detained on suspicion of terrorism offenses.
• Greater Manchester Police say worshipper Adrian Daulby is believed to have been fatally struck by police gunfire during the intervention, with another man injured when rounds penetrated a door.
• Police state Al‑Shamie, a 35‑year‑old Syrian‑born British citizen shot dead at the scene, was on bail over an alleged rape and may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology, though he was not previously known to counter‑terror units.
• Neighbors report they raised concerns in 2020–21 about Al‑Shamie’s behavior, including attempts to preach to local children, as officers continue forensic searches, review CCTV and bolster security at Jewish sites.
