Two wounded, one critically, in shooting in Israel
A shooting attack has injured two people, including one critically, near the Israeli city of Haifa, first responders say.
Police said the suspect opened fire on civilians and was “neutralised” by officers present at the scene.
“I saw an armed man running and shooting at civilians. Then, some border guards who happened to be passing by opened fire on him and killed him. He is still lying on the ground,” an unnamed witness told Israeli radio.

What has emerged in the past few minutes is that the attacker is an Israeli-Palestinian citizen. His name and age have not been revealed, nor have the motives.
According to Israeli police and witnesses, the attacker first rammed one person with a car, then got out and stabbed a bystander, before shooting at a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and killing a 70-year-old man.
One 21-year-old is in serious condition in a hospital on a ventilator. Police said the assailant was “neutralised”. An investigation is ongoing.

Suspect behind attack near Haifa is a Palestinian citizen of Israel
Israeli media are reporting the attacker behind the car ramming and shooting incident near Haifa was a Palestinian citizen of Israel from a town near Umm al-Fahm.
He was in his 20s but we don’t have information on his motivation or background. What we know is he rammed through pedestrians near a bus stop, got out of the car and shot an automatic gun at a vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
The driver was unharmed by the shooting but his father, 75, who was sitting next to him, was killed. A wounded 21-year-old is on a ventilator in a Haifa hospital as a result of “penetrating wounds”.
