Police have revealed two victims of the Manchester synagogue attack received gunshot injuries as officers attempted to shoot a killer who targeted Jewish worshippers with a knife.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson said one of the men who died yesterday suffered a gunshot wound as well as another who sustained injuries not life threatening.
It emerged both victims were together behind the doors at Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue when police opened fire after responding to an attack on Jewish worshippers in Crumpsall.
Meanwhile the the family of Jihad Al-Shamie, the man named by police as carrying out the terror attack, have expressed their 'profound shock' at what they described as his 'heinous act'.
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer visited the synagogue where Al-Shamie targeted Jewish worshippers during Yom Kippur - the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
