Four people were killed and a dozen others were injured in a Monday morning shooting at Ramot Junction in Jerusalem, according to authorities, who said “the terrorists were neutralised.”
Four men, one in their 50s and three others in their 30s, were pronounced dead at the scene, a spokesperson for Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency service, said in a statement on Telegram.
Of the 12 people injured, seven were listed in serious condition, it said, adding that two others suffered moderate injuries and three people were only “lightly injured.”
The responders “continue to provide medical treatment and evacuate to Jerusalem hospitals five seriously wounded with gunshots,” MDA said in an earlier statement. “Several others with light injuries from glass shards are also being treated at the scene.”
The MDA dispatch center received a call about the shooting at Ramot Junction on Yigal Yadin Street at 10:13 a.m. IDT, it said.
According to Israel Police, two gunmen who arrived at Ramot in a vehicle opened fire at a bus stop.
“In response, a security forces member and a civilian present at the scene fired at the terrorists, and they were neutralised,” it said in a statement on X.
There have been a number of attacks at Ramot in recent years.
In February 2023, three Israelis were killed and four others were injured when a suspect drove a car into pedestrians at a bus stop in the Ramot neighbourhood.
In November 2022, three people were injured when a bomb detonated at a bus stop at the junction. (UPI)
