Three people were murdered and six people were seriously and moderately injured in a shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem on Thursday morning. One of the fatalities was a 24-year-old woman, a second was a man in his 70s, and the details of the third fatality are not yet known.
Two terrorists opened fire, one with an automatic weapon and one with a pistol, toward passersby on Rechov Weizmann. The police said later that the terrorists arrived in the area by car and opened fire at people waiting at a bus stop. Cartridges with hundreds of bullets were found in the terrorists’ vehicle
Both terrorists, who were later reported to have been residents of East Jerusalem, were neutralized by a soldier who was nearby. Channel 12 News reported that the soldier was on a 12-hour leave from his post in the Gaza Strip.
Eight victims were evacuated to Shaare Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals, five in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and two in light condition.
