A man rammed a car into a crowd and stabbed people outside of a synagogue in Manchester, England on Thursday.

Two people were killed and three others were seriously injured in what police called an act of terrorism.

It happened on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Police said officers shot and killed the suspect only minutes after he began his assault.

The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, told people to avoid the area where the attack had happened.

The attacker was identified by Britain's counter-terrorism police as a British citizen of Syrian descent.

Police said investigators were still working to understand the motive behind the attack.

And on Friday, officials said that one of the victims had been accidentally shot and killed by an officer who responded to the scene.

And the Food and Drug Administration approved a generic version of the abortion pill Mifepristone, making it more easily available at a time when abortion opponents are pressuring the Trump administration to restrict access to abortion pills.

The approval, issued earlier this week, means that three American companies can now produce mifepristone to terminate a pregnancy.
