An armed police officer at the scene of a stabbing incident at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, England. Officers shot and killed the suspect outside Manchester, police said, though authorities took some time to confirm he was dead because he was wearing a vest that made it appear as if he had explosives. He said police believe they know the identity of the man who carried out the attack but have not confirmed it. Chief Constable Stephen Watson said the man drove directly at pedestrians outside the synagogue and then attacked them with a knife. On the sidewalk outside the synagogue gate nearby, the body of another person lay in a pool of blood.
