BBCTwo people died and four are in hospital after a man drove a car at members of the public before stabbing people outside a synagogue in Manchester.
The attack has been declared a terrorist incident by the head of national counter-terror policing. Four people remain in hospital with serious injuries.
Police say the attacker was stopped from entering the synagogue by security staff and worshippers at 09:31 BST on Thursday. He was shot dead by police at the scene.
An image taken near the scene shows a man believed to be the suspect with items around his waist.
Footage, verified by the BBC, then shows police trying to get members of the public away from the suspect.
It appears to show the moment police opened fire.
Images then show two armed officers standing pointing their weapons at a figure lying prone on the ground.
The body of the attacker was examined by bomb disposal technicians.
On the right-hand side, a bomb disposal robot can be seen. A knife is nearby, as well as items that were thought to have been strapped to the attacker’s waist.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) later confirmed that the device the suspect was wearing during the synagogue attack was “not viable”.
