Two people have been reported dead and six injured in a drive-by shooting at a Jerusalem tram stop near the Israeli police headquarters. It is close to the line dividing mainly Palestinian east Jerusalem from the mostly Jewish western side of the city. The attacker was provisionally identified by Israeli police as a 39-year-old resident of Silwan, a Palestinian neighbourhood of east Jerusalem. The incident began when a gunman in a car opened fire on the tram stop where one woman was shot. According to police, the gunman then continued into a Palestinian neighbourhood of east Jerusalem where he fired on pursuing police before being shot himself.
