The attack on Thursday left two worshippers dead when attacker Jihad Al-Shamie drove into congregants before stabbing victims while wearing what appeared to be a suicide vest. Worshippers held the doors of the synagogue to block him from entering; two were struck by gunfire in the chaos before officers shot and killed Al-Shamie. Lammy faced chants of shame on you and accusations of having blood on his hands as he took the microphone outside Heaton Park Synagogue on Friday afternoon.
