Dozens of people gathered in pouring rain near a synagogue in Manchester on Friday for a vigil, where Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy was heckled by members of the crowd accusing the government of allowing antisemitism to spread.

Lammy told the crowd that “we stand with you against terrorism,” and urged organizers of planned pro-Palestinian demonstrations over the weekend "to stop and to stand back.”

He was interrupted by boos and shouts of “Shame on you” and "You have blood on your hands", as he addressed the vigil in Manchester.

One of the two Jewish men killed in a car and knife attack on a synagogue in the English city of Manchester appears to have been accidentally shot by a police officer as he tried to stop the attacker entering the building, law enforcement authorities said Friday.

Police said local residents Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died in Thursday's attack on the Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Three other people are hospitalized in serious condition.

Police shot and killed a suspect seven minutes after he rammed a car into pedestrians outside the synagogue and then attacked them with a knife in what the police force called an act of terrorism.

He wore what appeared to be an explosives belt, which was found to be fake.
