The terrorists, one of whom was a resident of East Yerushalayim, arrived in a vehicle around 8:00 p.m. local time and fired at the people leaving the shul as well as those passing by.

Police arriving at the scene tracked down one of the shooters as he tried to flee in a car and shot him. The police are searching the area for a possible accomplice.

Magen Dovid Adom evacuated the injured to local hospitals.

Sources tell Hamodia that police are planning on patrolling Brooklyn shuls over Shabbos.
