Two people have been killed, with three others in serious condition, after a car and stabbing attack at a synagogue in Manchester. At 9:31 local time, police received reports of a car being driven at members of the public outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, an Orthodox synagogue in north Manchester. Reports also indicated that a man had been stabbed.
Shortly afterwards, police officers opened fire on the suspect, believing they had killed him, but were unable to confirm his condition as he was thought to have "suspicious items on his person". Several hours later, a large controlled explosion was carried out by officers at the scene.
