Police say one victim possibly shot by officer during Manchester attack

British police have said that an officer might have shot one of the victims who died in an attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester on Thursday.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Steve Watson said on Friday that, although the attacker, Jihad al-Shamie, was shot dead at the scene, one of the two victims who were killed had suffered a gunshot wound.

“It follows therefore this injury may 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”, Watson said in a statement.

During Thursday’s attack, two men, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed after al-Shamie, 35, drove his car into pedestrians and began stabbing people outside Manchester’s Heaton Park Congreg
