Two Jewish people have died in a car ramming and stabbing attack at a synagogue in Manchester.
The attack came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar, and is being treated by police as a terror incident.
Police say they know the identity of the attacker, who was shot dead by armed officers at the scene.
Four people remain in hospital with serious injuries. Here is what we know so far about the attack.
Police responded to reports of a car driving towards members of the public and a man stabbed at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at 09:31 BST on Thursday.
Officers quickly declared a major incident and arrived at the scene in north Manchester within minutes, shooting dead the suspect at 09:38.
A large number of people were worshipping at the synagogue at the time, and were held inside while the surrounding area was made safe.
Worshippers and security staff demonstrated "immediate bravery" and helped stop the attacker from entering the building, Greater Manchester Police said.
Shah, a local resident, said she was driving past the synagogue when she saw a vehicle "just sort of rushing past and driving straight for the members of the public".
She then saw a man "jump out" and start running towards the people, she said, calling the scene "traumatising" .
"The man was just running out with a knife and he just started going on a bit of a rampage. It's quite terrifying to be completely honest."
Gareth Tonge, another eyewitness who was driving his delivery van near the scene, told the BBC he saw a man "bleeding out on the floor".
