At Least Two Dead, Others Injured In UK Synagogue Attack

The incident took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

At least two people are dead after an attack outside a synagogue in Manchester, England on Thursday.

Along with those deceased, three injured victims remain in critical condition. Police fatally shot a man suspected of the car ramming and stabbing attack. His name has not been publicly released.

Police said due to the bravery of worshippers and staff at the synagogue, as well as the police response time, the suspect wasn’t able to get inside the building.

Britain’s prime minister called the attack “horrific” and warned that hatred “is rising once again.” The incident took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
