Overview

• Greater Manchester Police said two members of the Jewish community were killed and four others remain in hospital in a serious condition after the Yom Kippur attack outside Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue.
• The suspect, believed to be 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, drove into people and then stabbed victims before being shot dead by armed officers at the scene.
• Police declared the national Plato response and deployed a bomb disposal unit, with a small bang later heard near the synagogue consistent with a controlled explosion.
• The two men who died were named as Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, as investigations and security assessments continue in Manchester.
• Political figures condemned the violence and live TV coverage captured raw community distress, with guests including Luciana Berger warning of intensified fear and urging protection of minority communities.
