The family of a worshipper who is believed to have been shot dead by police while attempting to prevent a terrorist from entering a synagogue have paid tribute to a “hero” who died “in the act of courage to save others”.
Adrian Daulby was one of two men killed during the car and knife attack committed by Jihad Al-Shamie outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, on Thursday.
The tribute came as David Lammy was heckled during a vigil for Mr Daulby and fellow victim Melvin Cravitz close to the scene of the attack on Friday, with the Justice Secretary facing calls of “you have blood on your hands”.
Armed police accidentally shot Mr Daulby and another member of the public while attempting to stop Al-Shamie getting into the synagogue.
A tribute, provided by Mr Daulby’s family through Greater Manchester Police, 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 2 October 2025.”
