London, October 2 (Xinhua) — Two people were killed Thursday in a stabbing outside the Heaton Park Jewish Community Synagogue on Middleton Road in Crumpsall, a suburb of Manchester, UK, police confirmed.
According to a statement from Greater Manchester Police, a third man, believed to be the attacker, was shot dead by officers with a firearm and is also presumed dead. His identity has not yet been confirmed due to suspicious objects found on his body, which necessitated the call of the bomb squad.
As a result of the attack, three more people were injured and are in serious condition.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement that "extra police have been deployed to synagogues across the country."
According to law enforcement, law enforcement officers were called at 9:31 a.m. local time after a witness reported a car driving toward pedestrians and a man being stabbed. Officers fired their firearms at 9:38 a.m., fatally shooting the suspect.
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham previously told the BBC that people should "avoid the area," but reassured that "the immediate danger appears to have passed." –0–
