| Israel's Channel 2 Six O'Clock News bulletin this evening: One of the shot police in Jerusalem is 49 years old, suffering from severe head injuries |
Israel National News says two Israeli Border Guard police officers have been seriously hurt when they came under fire while traveling in a police vehicle on Salah a-Din street in East Jerusalem this afternoon (Tuesday).
Quoting an Israel Police spokesman, it says the attacker wounded one officer, and then immediately fled the scene. The second officers gave chase, and there was an exchange of fire in which another officer was shot and seriously injured. His comrades shot the terrorist gunman dead.
The Times of Israel report says the shooter was a motorcyclist.
The injured police officers have been rushed to Hadassah Medical Center hospital in Ein Karem for treatment. Israel's Channel 2 News is reporting that their injuries are serious.
A Carl-Gustav-style sub-machine gun was recovered from the terrorist's body, according to Israel National News. That's the name given in Israeli news reports for a kind of a cheaply-made weapon that has often been used by Palestinian Arab gunmen in terrorist attacks.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
