"Yom Kippur Attack: Police Shoot Suspect at Manchester Synagogue Mass Stabbing
An alleged knifeman was shot multiple times by police outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday morning as officers responded to an automobile and stabbing attack.
Several people were hit by a car and stabbed by an alleged knifeman at Heaton Park synagogue, on Middleton Road. City mayor Andy Burnham told local media that he had been told by police that a car had been driven by a man at members of the public and that he had dismounted and attempted to stab people.
Update 1140 BST — Bomb Disposal Team arrive on scene
A graphic video posted to social media shortly after the attack and geolocated to the Synagogue where it took place included snippets of speech from witnesses and police officers referring to a bomb. Now, GB News states a witness has told them they saw that the suspect was wearing what they described as a “vest with wires” and the bomb squad are now at the scene. No indication if the threat is serious yet, however.
Update 1115 BST — Yom Kippur service was targeted, says Mayor
Mayor Andy Burnham, who has been giving most of the updates on this morning’s attack so far, is continuing to speak. The Daily Telegraph transcribes his comments to radio: “Today is Yom Kippur, as I understand, and obviously I think that explains why people were around, why there were a number of people gathered outside the synagogue, and why lots of people were attending a service.
“We understand this is a situation that probably is linked to the fact it is Yom Kippur, a day of celebration for the Jewish community. We can only imagine how people are feeling when they hear this news. The fear this will bring.”
The Manchester Evening News notes the area around the attacked Synagogue has a large Jewish community."

I wonder, if the perp is a member of the Left's favorite religion? Jews in France have already begun to flee Europe due to attacks
on them because of their religion.
