Jerusalem: Boy, 13, ‘shoots and wounds’ two people, hours after gunman killed seven outside synagogue

From Sky News

Two people have been wounded after a 13-year-old boy allegedly opened fire in Jerusalem, hours after a deadly shooting outside a synagogue.

Israel’s national ambulance service said it was called to a “shooting terror attack” in the Palestinian neighbourhood of Silwan, in east Jerusalem, on Saturday morning. The teenage suspect from east Jerusalem is alleged to have opened fire on a group of five civilians.

He was tackled by two passers-by carrying licensed guns, police said.

The suspect is Palestinian, according to the Associated Press, and he was arrested and taken to hospital. A handgun was also recovered at the scene.

Two men aged 23 and 47 – thought to be a father and son – were wounded in the incident. They were both taken to hospital in a “moderate to serious” condition, according to medics.

Israeli Police spokesman Dean Elsdunne said the teenage suspect “waited to ambush civilians on the holy Sabbath day”.

  1. It’s a good thing that this youth was trained by his parents, peers, and other mentors to only shoot to wound.
    What percent of the Umma, adults and adulterers, are pleased with the 13-year old zealot?
