Two of the victims in the attack on a Manchester synagogue on Thursday were actually shot by police, with one killed, the U.K. police reported on Friday.
Two people were killed and three were injured in Thursday’s attack, in which Syrian-born Jihad al Shamie, whose name means Jihadi from Syria, allegedly rammed his truck into a crowd gathered for Yom Kippur at a synagogue, got out, and began stabbing Jewish congregants. Police responded within minutes and shot and killed the attacker. They revealed on Friday that of the five casualties, one death and one critical injury were caused by gunfire from police.
