The family of Adrian Daulby, 53, who died in the Manchester synagogue attack, have described him as a "hero" who "tragically lost his life in the act of courage to save others".

Mr Daulby was accidentally shot yesterday by police responding to the attack.

The attack outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, claimed the lives of two people, and three others remain in hospital.

His family continued describing him as "a lovely down to earth man".

The family said: "Adrian Daulby was a hero and tragically lost his life in the act of courage to save others.

"He was a beloved brother, loving uncle to his four nieces and one nephew and a cherished cousin.

"The family is shocked by the tragic, sudden death of such a lovely down to earth man. His final act was one of profound courage, and he will forever be remembered for his heroic act on Thursday, October 2, 2025."

Greater Manchester Police say it is "currently believed that Adrian's injury may sadly have been sustained as a tragic and unforeseen consequence of the urgently required action taken by our officers to bring a vicious attack to an end".
