Hey, it's Zan at the Porover.

Today, we're talking about an attack in England on Yon Kapoor, where the government shutdown currently stands, the WMBA finals and player sentiments, and other top news for Friday, October 3rd.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pourover.

Here's your quote of the day.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

St. Francis of Assisi.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

Two people were killed and four others were seriously injured in an attack outside a synagogue in northwest England on Wednesday, which was Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.

Police fatally shot the suspect outside the Heaton Park Hebrew congregation in Manchester

after he rammed pedestrians with a car, stabbed a security guard, and was believed to be carrying a bomb.

Bomb disposal teams were called after, quote, suspicious items were found on his body.

Video showed officers shouting, quote, he has a bomb, go away, to bystanders as officials

secured the scene.

Prime Minister Sturmer called the attack, quote, horrific, and King Charles said he was, quote,

deeply shocked and saddened.

Authorities credited quick-thinking bystanders with helping

prevent the suspect from entering the synagogue. The suspect is a 35-year-old, quote, British citizen

of Syrian descent. His motive is under investigation. The hope of resurrection doesn't mean we don't grieve real tragedies like this attack,

but it does mean that death won't have the final word.

Pray for the injured and the families of those lost,

that they would turn to Christ, the Messiah for healing, comfort, and hope.

Pray with us.
