Police have confirmed that one of the victims of the Manchester synagogue was shot dead by officers
According to the city police chief, the suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie, was not carrying firearms and the only gunshots were fired by police officers with authorized weapons when they tried to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue, so the victim's gunshot wounds had to be inadvertently inflicted by the officers.

Thursday's attack on a synagogue in Manchester, north-west England, one of the two people killed in N minus two was shot dead by officers, police confirmed on Friday.
The Chief of Police of Greater Manchester (GMP), Stephen Watson, has said that one of the three people in serious condition in the hospital also has gunshot wounds.
"The pathologist at the Ministry of the Interior has reported that one of the deceased victims appears to have suffered a gunshot wound," the police command said.
Watson added that "it is believed that the suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie, had no firearms and that the only gunshots were fired by GMP agents with authorized weapons while preventing the attacker from entering the synagogue and causing further damage to the Jewish community."
"It has therefore been concluded, after additional forensic examinations, that the wound (fatal) could have been a tragic and unexpected consequence of the urgent action taken by my officers to end the violent attack," he explained.
Watson has specified that "the life" of the other person who was shot "is not in danger."
"It is believed that the two victims were very close to each other, behind the door of the Synagogue, when the faithful were trying to prevent the aggressor from entering," the GMP leader said.
Two people were killed and three injured on Thursday after the British Jihad Al-Shamie (unprecedented) hit pedestrians with a car and stabbed a man at the Jewish festival in Yom Kippur, a synagogue in Heaton Park, north of Manchester.
With the information provided this Friday, it has been found that one of the dead and another person's injuries were caused by gunfire from the officers, and the suspect himself was shot dead by the police.
The other two dead men are Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.
The police have three alleged accomplices in custody and are conducting an investigation into the motive for the attack.
Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood and police have called on pro-Palestinian protest organizers this Friday to stop the protests for a few days in order to let the Jewish community mourn, but in principle the demonstration in support of the banned Palestine Action group is still called for Saturday.
