  In a drive by shooting which took place in Jerusalem, three people have been killed and five have been wounded. The attacker is suspected to be Palestinian by Police Spokeswoman Luba Samri. He had sped off to the city's light rail service and opened fire and had seriously wounded a woman waiting for a train.

He then continued driving and proceeded to open fire towards a woman who was seated in a car before speeding off towards an Arab neighbourhood in Eastern Jerusalem. 

Police Spokeswoman Luba Samri said: 

"Police officers on motorcycles chased the assailant, who eventually stepped out of his vehicle and opened fire at them. A police officer was critically wounded in the shootout."

Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld has described the shooting as a terrorist attack.

Micky Rosenfeld took to Social Media site Twitter and had tweeted the following:

What Do I Think About This Article?

In my opinion, I think there is more to this article as Will hasn't spoken about the other victims of the shooting. Additionally, I think it is unfair how they have labelled the attacker a terrorist as the event has recently just happened.
