Two people have died in an attack at a synagogue in Manchester in northern England and a third person suspected to be the offender who was shot by police is also believed to have died, a police statement says.
Police say they cannot confirm if the suspect is dead “due to safety issues surround suspicious items on his person.”
A bomb disposal unit has been called and is now at the scene.
Three more people have been seriously injured in the attack, police say.
The attack took place on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
