Overview

• Dame Sarah Mullally used her first remarks after her appointment to pledge that the Church of England will stand with the Jewish community against antisemitism.
• The attack occurred at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Crumpsall on Yom Kippur, when a vehicle struck a group before a stabbing.
• Two victims, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed, and the attacker—named in reports as Jihad Al‑Shamie—was shot dead by police.
• Greater Manchester Police said at least one person who died suffered a gunshot wound during the armed response to stop the attacker.
• Officers shot the assailant seven minutes after being alerted, and Mullally’s stance echoes her earlier condemnations of antisemitism and past references to crises including Gaza.
