One person was killed and four others were injured in a shooting near Ashdod, Israel, that has now been deemed a terrorist attack Tuesday.
Authorities say an assailant opened fire on a police officer in the area before turning his weapons on civilians. The police officer died of his wounds while being transported to a nearby hospital. The attacker was killed by an armed civilian.
At least one of the injured civilians was considered to be in moderate condition. Volunteer EMTs were the first to respond to the scene, and they offered a public statement describing the situation.
“We provided initial treatment at the scene and performed CPR on a 30-year-old man in critical condition”, EMTs said.
