Overview

  • Greater Manchester Police said two congregants were killed and several others injured after a vehicle‑ramming and stabbing outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation during Yom Kippur.
  • A Home Office pathologist’s provisional finding indicates one victim, named as Adrian Daulby, likely died from a police gunshot, and police said a hospitalized victim also appears to have a gunfire wound.
  • Armed officers shot the suspect dead at about 09:38 after the initial 09:31 call; explosives specialists examined the body due to suspicious objects and what appeared to be a fake explosive vest.
  • Authorities identified the suspect as Jihad Al‑Shamie, 35, a British citizen of Syrian origin, and have made three arrests on suspicion of involvement in terrorist acts.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened COBR and ordered additional policing at synagogues nationwide as GMP and the national counterterrorism unit continue the investigation.
