One of the three victims of the attack appears to have been hit by a bullet, but the person “is fortunately not in a life -threatening state,” said the police in Manchester. The perpetrator, a 35-year-old man who already came to live in England as a child, but of Syrian origin, only had a stab weapon with him. Before he started to turn around, at the entrance of the Jewish prayer house, he drove into the believers present.
The shock was good on Thursday, after the fatal actions of Jihad al-Shamie. The Jewish attendees appear to have come into consideration after he drove into them. They blocked the entrance to the shul, writes Sky News. Tragic enough, when the police arrived and intervened, at least two bullets were shot through the prayer house door.
The rapidly enclosed agents “tried to prevent the perpetrator from entering the synagogue and further harming our Jewish community,” said the statement.

The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has visited the synagogue. He walked around the building with his wife and spoke with police officers, among others. He said earlier that it was a terrorist attack and said that the country “should do everything” to protect the Jewish community.
