Jerusalem: Suspected of carrying weapons - and shot dead
Jerusalem shooting incident: A man suspected of carrying a gun was shot by police near the lion's gate. He was shot and seriously injured, and later died of his wounds. Then it turned out - this is a young man with special needs who never carried a gun.
A preliminary investigation of the incident revealed that police officers in Jerusalem identified the suspicious man, a 30-year-old resident of East Jerusalem, with an object in his hand that looked like a gun, and shouted at him to stop. The man began to flee, and police reported a gunman who fled and apparently held a gun. Other police officers who were nearby heard the report and joined the chase. At the lion's gate, they spotted him, shot him, and killed him.
The Jerusalem Police are currently investigating the incident, which could be explosive, since tomorrow (Sunday) the Temple Mount is scheduled to reopen to Muslim worshipers. The slain family claims: "It's a murder."
