Manchester synagogue attack: Nearby schools send messages to reassure parents

Following an attack on Heaton Park synagogue in north Manchester on October 2, schools in the area are reassuring parents that pupils are safe and classes are running as normal. The incident, which occurred early on Yom Kippur, involved a suspect who was shot by armed police after driving into a group of people and stabbing an individual. Tragically, two members of the public were killed, and three others are in serious condition. Hospitals in the region briefly went on lockdown but this has since been lifted. Increased police presence has been established at synagogues across Greater Manchester to ensure safety.

Authorities are committed to keeping the Jewish community safe during this difficult time.
