Overview

• Counter Terrorism Policing North West is leading the probe, with four people held on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts after warrants granted more time for questioning.
• Greater Manchester Police reiterated that Jihad al‑Shamie was not known to counter‑terrorism units and called reports of earlier extremist warnings to police inaccurate.
• The police watchdog is reviewing the firearms response after officers’ rounds struck two worshippers, with Adrian Daulby believed to have been fatally injured by a stray bullet.
• Mourners paid tribute at Daulby’s funeral, where he was praised for helping block the synagogue doors; fellow victim Melvin Cravitz was laid to rest a day earlier.
• Investigators are examining evidence including new doorbell footage and eyewitness accounts, while police say al‑Shamie, who was on bail for an alleged rape, may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology.
