Overview

  • Greater Manchester Police activated Operation PLATO and called in bomb-disposal teams after officers saw suspicious items on the attacker.
  • Two people were confirmed dead and several others were seriously injured; armed officers fired at 9:38 a.m., and the suspect is believed to be dead pending formal confirmation.
  • Counter Terrorism Policing is leading the inquiry, the suspect has been identified, and two people have been arrested in connection with the case.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer cut short a trip to convene COBRA, ordered additional policing at Jewish sites, and national agencies are reviewing the terror threat level.
  • The attack struck worshippers outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Crumpsall during Yom Kippur, with a vehicle-ramming followed by stabbings, and authorities urged the public to avoid speculation and the area.
