Five people were killed, one was critically injured, and six others were seriously wounded on Monday in a shooting attack on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israeli publication Haaretz reported.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the shooting or what the motive was. Israeli police described the shooters as “terrorists” without saying how many had been involved in the incident. They also claimed that the perpetrators had been killed, according to Reuters.
The Israeli ambulance service said earlier that 15 people were wounded and at least five were in serious condition with gunshot wounds. Paramedics arriving at the scene found victims lying on the road and sidewalk near a bus stop, some of them unconscious.
This is a developing story that is being updated as the situation evolves. Initial reports in the media can sometimes be inaccurate.
