Syrian-born British citizen Jihad al Shamie attacked a synagogue in Manchester, UK by ramming his truck into a crowd outside the synagogue on October 2, 2025. He killed one person and injured three. The police shot the terrorist dead, but also killed one innocent bystander as well. So far, Islamists and leftists in the UK have been celebrating the attacks and rioting in support of Hamas in response.
Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Stephen Watson said in a statement “The only shots fired were from GMP’s Authorized Firearms Officers as they worked to prevent the offender from entering the synagogue and causing further harm to our Jewish community. 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.”
