Overview

• Greater Manchester Police confirmed two worshippers sheltering inside were struck by rounds fired by armed officers as they killed attacker Jihad Al‑Shamie outside the Heaton Park synagogue.
• The Independent Office for Police Conduct is examining whether officers may have caused or contributed to a death, a standard review following fatalities linked to police gunfire.
• Sir Grant Shapps said his father‑in‑law was helping hold the doors when Adrian Daulby was fatally hit by a bullet that passed through a door, and relatives say Yoni Finlay was also shot and is recovering after surgery.
• Counter Terrorism Policing North West is leading the investigation, four people remain in custody on extended detention warrants, and two others arrested last week were released without charge.
• New reporting details Al‑Shamie’s background as Syrian‑born and naturalised in 2006, on bail over an alleged rape with prior convictions, described as a university dropout with reported interest in extremist content, as neighbours say they earlier raised radicalisation concerns with police.
