Over dozen wounded in Jerusalem terror shooting; five seriously injured

JNS - Over a dozen people were injured, including five who sustained serious wounds, in a terrorist shooting attack in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot on Monday morning.

The Magen David Adom emergency medical response group confirmed it received reports about “approximately 15 injured people, likely from a shooting at the Ramot Junction on Yigael Yadin Street in Jerusalem.”

Medics were working to “transfer five seriously wounded people with gunshot wounds to hospitals in Jerusalem,” it said. “Several additional victims with varying degrees of injury are being treated at the scene.”

Two terrorists were reportedly neutralized at the scene by an Israel Defense Forces soldier. Their condition was not immediately clear.

Nadav Taib, a paramedic with Magen David Adom, said in a statement shared by the organization he “arrived at the location with large forces immediately after receiving the report of people wounded by gunfire.

“We saw people lying on the road, unconscious, on the side of the road and the sidewalk near a bus stop. There was widespread destruction at the scene, shattered glass on the ground and commotion,” he stated.

Magen David Adom “provided medical treatment to the wounded and continues to treat and evacuate them to hospitals,” the paramedic said.
