As reported by The Times of Israel: “Officers called to the scene located and shot the gunman, police said. A handgun apparently used in the attack was seized.”
The police on the scene reported that the terrorists had arrived at the location via car, then opened fire outside of a building used by the synagogue.
The shooter was reported as “neutralized” after being shot by police at the scene. A handgun was recovered that was allegedly used in the attack.
