One Israeli settler killed, eight injured in shooting in occupied West Bank

Israeli authorities reported that one person was killed and eight people were injured – two seriously, three moderately and three lightly – by gunfire at the checkpoint of the entrance to Ma'aleh Adumim, an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.

An initial report indicates that three attackers apparently opened fire on passersby. 

Two of the attackers were shot by security forces and armed civilians at the scene, while the third initially fled and was “neutralised” a short while later during police searches of the area, police say.
