One of the two men killed in a car and knife attack on a synagogue in the city of Manchester may have been killed by a bullet fired by a police officer, the force said on Friday.
Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson said a forensic examination has provisionally determined that the victim had “a wound consistent with a gunshot injury.” He said the attacker did not have a gun and that the only shots fired were by police.
“This injury may sadly have been sustained as a tragic and unforeseen consequence of the urgently required action taken by my officers to bring this vicious attack to an end,” Watson said.
Police said local residents Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died in the attack Thursday on the Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue in the Manchester suburb of Crumpsall. Three other people are hospitalized in serious condition.
