Counterterrorism police in Manchester on Tuesday afternoon declared the deadly attack outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue a "terrorist attack." Two people were killed and three others wounded in an attack outside the synagogue in Manchester on Thursday, and a man believed to be the attacker was shot by police, authorities said. Counter-terrorism Policing Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor told the media that two more arrests have been made and that the identity of the attacker is known to the police, but it cannot be confirmed at this time "for safety reasons." Chief Constable Stephen Watson of the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) says inquiries are moving "at pace" both across Greater Manchester and beyond. The attacker was wearing a vest "which had the appearance of an explosive device," Watson added. The police department said officers were called at about 9.31 am local time on reports of a car being driven toward pedestrians outside the synagogue in Crumpsall and a man being stabbed. Firearms officers were deployed, and a man believed to be the suspect was shot by the officers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who went to Copenhagen for the European Political Community gathering, cut his trip short and returned to the country to chair an emergency Cabinet meeting later in the afternoon.
