According to UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, how did one of the victims in the Manchester synagogue attack likely die?
Police bulletGreater Manchester Police confirmed that a forensic examination provisionally determined one of the two deceased victims—Adrian Daulby or Melvin Cravitz—sustained a gunshot wound. Since the attacker, Jihad Al-Shamie, did not possess a firearm, authorities believe the injury resulted from police gunfire during the intervention. The Home Secretary and police described it as a 'tragic and unforeseen consequence' of the officers’ attempt to neutralize the threat. Both the deceased and another hospitalized victim were reportedly standing close together behind the synagogue door while trying to block the attacker’s entry. This highlights the chaotic and high-risk nature of the situation during the terrorist incident.

His plan included placing Gaza under a temporary governing committee led by himself, with involvement from former UK PM Tony Blair, and required Hamas to disarm and release remaining hostages.
