NFL holds moment of silence for victims of Yom Kippur terror attack in England

Fox News' Greg Palkot provides details on the incident at a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur.

The NFL on Sunday held a moment of silence for the victims of the synagogue stabbing attack that occurred in the Manchester, England, area on Yom Kippur before a game between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns.

Two people were killed and three were seriously injured when an assailant rammed a car into people at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue and then attacked people with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed in what police called a terrorist attack.

The NFL game was being played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Fans dressed in either orange or purple to support the teams took off their hats and were briefly silent before "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played.

The deceased victims were identified as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66 – both worshippers at the synagogue. Daulby was accidentally shot by an officer as worshippers tried to stop the attacker from entering the building by barricading the door shut, police said.

Daulby’s family hailed him as a "hero" whose "final act was one of profound courage."
