Two dead, three injured in Manchester, England synagogue terrorist attack

Two people are dead after a terrorist attack outside a synagogue in Manchester, England and the suspect has been killed by police.

Three others are in serious condition following what police say started with a car driving at people outside of Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue before a man was then stabbed in the same area.

The attack happened as the place of worship was packed with people observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

The alleged attacker — an as-yet unidentified man — was shot dead.

Bomb experts are investigating whether he had an explosive device strapped to his waist.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer ended a trip to Denmark early due to the attack and announced additional police deployment at synagogues across the U.K.

This is developing news story — more to come.
