Two men were killed when a terrorist rammed a car into a crowd of Jewish people and then began stabbing them outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, England, on Oct. 2.

The attacker, who authorities said was wearing what appeared to be an explosive vest, was shot dead by police, but it has now emerged that one of the two Jewish men who died may have been killed by a police bullet.
