The alleged attacker fled the scene in a vehicle and was killed after a shootout with police, authorities said.
“As a result of the shooting attack, the death of 7 civilians was determined and 3 others were injured with additional degrees of injury,” police said. The attack occurred around 8:15pm local time, near a synagogue on Neve Yaakov Street, according to a police statement, which added that the alleged attacker fled the scene in a vehicle and was killed after a shootout with police forces.
The United States State Department on Friday condemned the “apparent terrorist attack” in Jerusalem “in the strongest terms.” “This is absolutely horrific,” said State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel. “Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to those killed and injured in this heinous act of violence.” Patel said the US is “still gathering information” but that the US government is “in direct touch with our Israeli partners.
