Tributes have been paid to two men, Melvin Cravitz, and Adrian Daulby, who died in the Manchester synagogue attack on Thursday.

Police have identified the attacker as Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent who entered the United Kingdom as a young child.

He was shot and killed seven minutes after he rammed a car into pedestrians outside the synagogue and then attacked them with a knife

Officers say one of the two men killed in the attack may have been accidentally been shot by a police officer.

Religious and political leaders condemned the attack and pledged to reassure Britain’s Jewish community, which numbers about 300,000.

Police have called the attack an act of terrorism but say they are still working to identify a motive.
