One of the victims who died in the Manchester synagogue attack was likely shot by armed officers aiming for the killer, police said on Friday.
The admission came the day after at least two Jewish worshipers were killed and three others seriously injured in a car ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue in the English city of Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The suspected attacker was also killed by police.
Manchester police Chief Constable Stephen Watson said that according to a preliminary assessment of the Home Office pathologist, one of the deceased victims “would appear to have suffered a wound consistent with a gunshot injury.”
He said that one of the three people who are being treated in hospital has also suffered a gunshot wound.
Watson said that since the police believed that the suspect, Jihad Al Shamie, did not have a gun, it must have been the police gunfire that hit the victims.

Policeman or woman could not tell a Jihadis from a Jew. Prolly spent zero time at the range.
Was the police officer named Mohammad?
I imagine the LEOs could use a little more time at the range. Maybe a little more ammunition for practice to learn to hit the bad guy.
Given the number of Muslims in the Manchester police force, you have to wonder if a Muslim cop was looking to kill or wound a few Jews without serving jail time.
When bullets fly everyone is in danger.
I understand that the killer was a muslim actually named: “Jihad.”. I’m not joking. his name is Jihad. True story
It's a fair question. "Stop resisting your stabbing, filthy Jew!" pew pew pew
Oops. Keystone cops across the water.

Perhaps we should send them some “good ol’ boy” cops as trainers. You know, the ones who started handling firearms before they were old enough for school.

It’s time for Jews to leave Perfidious Albion.
“Policeman or woman”
I suspect it’s both...it seems there are more women cops than men at this point, and it’s only funny when they try to arrest immigrants, most of whom aren’t too hot on getting arrested. But the REAL PURPOSE of these Angie Dickinson wannabees is arresting Brits, for complaining about the government in Social Media postings.
Have the police determined a motive?
Those terrorist religion will come for Christians on Christmas when they done with Jews on their holidays
What is happening in England will happen in USA 🇺🇸
The democrats will come for your guns same as the government of England took away the people’s guns.
Americans are sleep walking into government overreach
How did a British police officer get a gun? Illegal side piece?
Armed response unit
In the UK you can’t really say it was a friendly fire incident.
So one person was killed and three injured by police gunfire??? I get that its a chaotic situation, but that sounds like amateur hour.
