Damn this is a horrible outcome if true. It can't be easy dealing with such situations in a crowded environment with a man seemingly wearing an explosive vest.
One of the victims killed in Thursday's attack at a synagogue in Manchester was shot by police during their attempts to bring the unarmed attacker under control, officers said on Friday in a statement.
"It is currently believed that the suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie, was not in possession of a firearm and the only shots fired were from GMP's Authorized Firearms Officer," the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) statement said.
"It follows therefore, that subject to further forensic examination, 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."
